To a large extent this is us too.....
When my dear old Uncle passed we found his Christmas gifts going back years stacked in the bottom of his wardrobe. They comprised several Old Spice dual sets, hanky and tie sets, scarves, folding umbrellas etc.I think the thing is that for kids they ask “ Santa” so they kinda know what they want. When your the wrong side of 60 or an adult you more or less have everything. The picking what you would like is not a biggie for me. I tend to get things through the year.

He always said he didn't need anything and no-one listened.
They didn't have Worthington Bitter vouchers back then. He'd have loved that!
. It's what he wanted, he was happy with it. As I get older, I understand more now and smile when I think back. Imagine how sad I felt:My dad used to get my grandad, his dad, beer for Christmas, mild to be precise
If only people listened more to what people actually want, not what people think they want.
I'm sure he still appreciated the gifts, it's the thought behind them

My daughter has just picked up her Golden Retriever puppy and his name is Cooper, it must be a current fad!I bought Cooper a posh new harness this morning. Asked if he wanted it for Xmas? His look was such I said "that would be like buying a woman an iron for Christmas"...David "oh...ummm...how about saucepans"
He knows better!
I get my dad a case of old speckled hen every year. He genuinely loves it. He’s in his 80s so really wants for nothing.My dad used to get my grandad, his dad, beer for Christmas, mild to be precise

I'm much, much younger than you. I had to google who they were.Yeah but what about the wobbly bits, there’s lots of them
Ours just got us a repeat at Cardigan Bay, The Cliff Hotel, date of our choice. We've stayed several times. The last time we were there we, from our room window, and many others on the cliff beneath, watched a few pods of bottlenose dolphins being followed, (at a correct distance), by boats charging £80.I'm sure he still appreciated the gifts, it's the thought behind them
Similar to you, we've trained our kids. We are off to the lake District this weekend, treat from our kids for Christmas. Perfect.
