I've been asked by multiple family members what I would like for Christmas and I'm completely stumped, I have no clue. They're becoming insistent so I thought of asking you all what you guys would really like for Christmas? Maybe I'll get some inspo!

As ever I only want a charity gift. Suggestions would be from goodgifts.org or choose.love but this is not prescriptive.

I don't want anything and I find it so weird when people clearly don't want anything as they can't think of anything so turn to strangers to tell them what they want. It makes no sense. If you can't think of anything then you don't want anything so either say that or ask for a donation to charity. These posts will never fail to baffle me.

I don't really want anything for Christmas either so I tend to ask for vouchers from www.kiva.org/, a microfinance charity. Failing that, I tend to ask for a bottle of wine.
