It is hard when ppl give you stuff that you'd prefer to buy or choose yourself.

I took heaps of stuff from friends because I did not want to offend anyone!!! I ended up having stuff that never got used so I gave it back with a big thank you or donated to charity.
So true BekZ!
Maybe I can just tell friends that we are waiting til after christmas to get anything and if they still have the item then I will let them know!
