..........not that i'll be buying it for you.

I'm always shit at knowing what I want for Xmas. I need some ideas about what I may like. I hate people buying me clothes, so thats a no go, and I'm pretty sorted for music equipment (decks, headphones etc).

What sorter things are you lot asking for?



Need to get my letter off to Santa sharpish!

This.

Always get cash from the parents. But cant really ask for cash from the GF, GFs family, brother etc. Maybe ask for Boomkat vouchers or something, but then would just be better to ask for money incase they dont have the tracks I'm looking for. Got HD-25s last year, so all sorted for headphones. Dont need a new mixer or anything.

yeah music vouchers would be good, wonder who does them.
thinking about it I might ask for an upgrade on one of my hifi rca interconnects.....exciting stuff

I'm a bit more concerned about what the fuck I'm going to get everyone to be honest, everyone is fucking hard to buy for, literally no ideas for anyone. Xmas is nice, xmas present culture when there are no young kids involved is SHIT

I keep a list over the preceeding year - anything my GF even remotely shows a passing interest in, I make a note of it. Then, when Xmas/birthday rolls round, I consult the list, pick a few items at random, add the obligatory box of chocolates/Lush gift set and job done 8)

Agreed.

I could use some new speakers at home, but would probably need to get a decent amp to go with them too. Could maybe ask for one of them and buy the other myself with xmas money.

I agree
She however doesn`t.
She`s willing to let my son use the i5 laptop in exchange for an ipad 2.
The most ridiculous compromise ever.
