my birthday is coming up and my mum said to me yesterday 'you still havent told me what you want'. I always feel awkward asking for something specific and really would be nice if people were buying me something then to know me well enough to pick something as a surprise!! I don't think I am hard to shop for - quite easily please. Don't get me wrong I normally say to my mum/sister/ best friend 'is there anything you are really wanting/needing' for your birthday. If they can't think of anything I just pick something myself and feel the present is always gratefully received - I just kinda wish they would do the same with me, I dont feel a present should be something that is asked for.
