If you can't think of anything you want, maybe you should just be content with what you have, instead of searching around for £100's worth of presents. Isn't the spirit of Christmas in giving, not receiving? Sure, it's really nice to receive presents, but I'd rather have nothing at all and know I was loved, healthy and happy, than get a Wii, and Xbox, and a PS3, knowing my parents only bought it because they feel bad for not loving me enough or whatever.
Yeah, I switched into rant mode there, but seriously, whilst it's nice to receive presents, people go overboard and want, want, want. Like I said, if you can't think of anything you want/need, you should simply be content with what you do have, or do something like Vazza suggested.
With all due respect Tasha, isn't that the same speech you give every year?
