Mine is the same. Thing is, even if I gave them an exact and precise list they'd get it wrong.
So for the last 5+ years I've actually bought my presents, then handed them over for them to be wrapped, at this point they pay me for them.
That way I get something I can use, I am not being hassled, they are not spending hours and hours getting it wrong.
Suggest that to her: can I go out and find something I really want and buy it, then drop it off for you to wrap.
It might work.0 -

I'd be happy just to have my Mum back for Christmas.
Big ((HUGS)) - my friend lost her Mum this year. I want to say or do something for her to let her know I'm thinking of her and recognise this christmas day will be a huge hurdle for her. Do you have any ideas please?"all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time..."0 -

It's three years this Christmas since I lost mine, I find it's getter harder as time goes on.
Anyway, maybe a nice candle. She could light it to commemorate her Mum. (you don't have to say that of course, but it's a nice thought).:wave:0 -

Yeah - easy! a hand delivered card on Xmas morning with a post it in it saying something nice about her mum (or her relationship with her mum if you didnt know mum well) with your tel no & a reminder 'anytime'
that way she knows you know .. but can take the post-it out so its not a constant reminder all holiday.
The worst thing I found was people not mentioning it or expecting me to be 'jolly' the whole time. From the few friends I had, those that understood & talked, they are now my only true friends.....I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I KnowSupermarket Rebel No 19:T0
