I know a lot of us don't care about what we receive, but for what you do get, do you prefer to be surprised or do you prefer having a pretty good idea what's under the tree for you?

I like to know what I'm getting so I don't have to pretend to like something I dislike.

Cryptocurrency.

Can I answer both? I like know what it is, but not specifically. For example, I like to receive:

 

Movies

Beers (especially once I've never had before)

Books

Gift Cards

 

But not specifically knowing what those things are.

Cheesy as it may be, my favorite thing to get around the holidays is an abundance of good vibes. Well-wishes on career and personal goals or troubles mean so much more to me than just about any item I could unwrap.

 

The one exception is my grandma. On top of offering the above 365 days per year, she has an excellent understanding of my taste in clothes and, without fail, has the gift I most look forward to opening every Christmas.

I'd say it's about half and half for me. If I ask for something specific, I like knowing that I'm getting that. But I also like having a couple presents that I have absolutely no idea what they are. Kinda keeps that feel of "A kid on Christmas morning" alive.

As a gift from my wife and kids, I told them years ago to just get me a golf membership to the course I play regularly. That way its easier for them and its something that I will use.

This. Couldn't have said it better.

Surprise me. But, I'd really rather not have a gift. I'd rather you be there for me when I need help throughout the year. I'm lucky. My kids are very aware of what I prefer.

I prefer the gift of quality time with people I love (my wife and kids primarily). I'm not opposed to Corona Light, however.

I hate knowing what I'm getting. Takes the little bit of fun that there is out of it when you know.

I want money. Lots and lots of money ...

Always surprise me.

Straight cash homie.

Surprise me.
