NC due to many identifiable gift details.
Each year, family members ask me and DP for our Christmas wishlist. In past years we've ended up with duplicate items as people don't mark things off as purchased (DP got 3 cafetieres one year, and it still wasn't bloody marked off as purchased!) so we stopped handing it out.
The more technically proficient members of the family have still been finding and using them, and we haven't discouraged this. Until now.
I put "socks" on my list for this year. I put them on as many of DPs family have little cash, so I try to put on lots of affordable items.
My mum popped in this weekend, and gave me an "urgent early Christmas present". She has bought me 27 pairs of socks. She seems to think I needed lots of pairs, and urgently. Neither is true. I can only assume she got this idea from the amazon wishlist. I have not mentioned socks to her.
AIBU to stop doing a wishlist? I know family will complain but we keep ending up in silly situations because of it.
