    No Way! That's wonderful... If they are asking you what you want, they are open to ideas! They know that their gift could be contributing to your future. I think that's just great.

    Hmm then why do I feel so funny about it? I've never been someone to ask for anything really, usually if someone asks I say "oh you don't have to get me anything". Feels very strange asking for something!

    Not at all rude and no way would i be offended, i love it when somebody tells me what they would like as i am hopeless at buying gifts for people.

    Maybe you feel funny about it because if you mention it then it feels like you're expecting them to get you something? That's how I always feel if I try and steer the direction of gift buying for me, but it beats getting something that is nothing like what you want or would find useful.

    I don't think it's being rude at all.

    No I don't think it would be rude. If they ask, then they probably genuinely want to know what you need.

    I'd be happy!! Just tell them it's a "suggestion" and then they can't be offended right?
