i love the availability of lists. luckily i was pretty much able to think of REALLY GOOD (and inexpensive!) gifts for my family this year, w/o the aid of lists. but, i had just recently been at my mom's house, so i had a couple of ideas of things that she'd like to have...i see my sister all the time, and they're the kind of people that don't need anything, but i noticed they're still using my mom's old crockpot that has a duct-taped electrical cord (and i got a wicked deal on a fancy programmable one), etc etc. for me, though, parents are typically very hard. and neither of my parents would provide a list even if i asked, i don't think...it's just a crapshoot, i guess, unless i get a moment of genius.
however, some people are just nearly impossible to shop for. i'd rather have a brilliant idea of my own, but sometimes you know a person super well, know their interests, etc, but have no idea what they have. you know? so i'll go for a gift card. i guess the only thing about lists that offends me (and i personally do keep a "wishlist" online) is when people seem to be shoving them down your throats.
and i'm totally down with the gift card idea of FREE SHOPPING. that is so kickass. so. kickass.
