Well some of you might know I'm currently looking at starting my own business (have a name now thanks to Onyx ) and I was thinking that if someone (mum, family, so on) asks me what I want for B'day/Christmas/etc that I would give them a list of things for my business I still need to get.

There would be things for only a few dollars upwards. Would this be rude? I would just rather something that will go towards my goal rather than more "stuff".

Would you be offended?
