If it weren't for tradition and habit, I wouldn't wrap them! Wastes paper and time. But we have always wrapped presents to give the kids at family gatherings, so we continue to do that. At some point, I will start giving red packets instead (most of my sisters-in-law do already), but I do like looking at books and it's my way of introducing different books to a largely non-book-reading bunch. I'm known to be the only one who gives books, the one who only gives books! Although this time I have bought some card games for the primary school kids. I don't bother to wrap presents for my kids any more, but I do try to put some small items in their stockings - they still like having stockings even in their 20s! From now till 24 Dec, I'll be on the lookout for small items for the stockings. And if all else fails, they'll get a choc bar, hand cream, socks, hair ties...

I think that is nice. Keep them to read actual books.

Over time I have became so practical that dh needs to tell me in advance what he wanted to buy as my bday present and ended up always got rejected by me..so ended up I don't actually get bday presents from my dh these few years. Bad me.

I’ve dropped my Kobo and Kindle several times but they are quite hardy. The back tends to be heavier so it will land on the back rather than the front screen. Maybe she just happened to be unlucky landed on the screen side. The newer ones have a padded cover accessory u can buy? Like ipad cover to protect it.[/quote]

Mine quite sturdy. Dropped it few times already but still no scratch and dent unlike my samsung tab :roll:

Samsung tab feel cheap despite high price unlike ipad. If you were to buy samsung, make sure to invest in good sturdy case like casetify if dont want to get dents.

My family (husband, daughters and me) is the same - we generally don't try to surprise one another with gifts. Often, it may not be exactly what is wanted, and it can be waste of money. If we can think of something the person will like, we still let the person choose for him/herself to be sure of getting it right, especially if it costs more than a few dollars. And if we can't think of something, we will ask. And often, the potential recipient finds it hard to think of something too, and we just don't get anything. On the other hand, my husband has never stopped me from getting anything that I want in between times, and vice versa.

Same, I get stuff for dds & I as and when I see something I like. My dh has always wanted me to change my hp but to me why change when still can be used. So I guess he should be quite disappointed coz he has been asking for few years. Every year I say next year. I just dropped my hp while walking home just now..looks ok hope it is really ok.

Aiyo. If your DH is sponsoring the phone, just take it lor. I wished someone would buy me a new phone :evil:

Chief, you can get a new hp anytime. Or hoping for Mrs CKS to read arh

Think guys appreciate hp more. My this old hp value for money. Just need it for basic functions, weight and screen size just nice for me. Maybe slower only.

I don't like changing phones (or PCs). Although it's much easier these days to move data etc, it's still a pain to have to reload apps etc. I resist changing phones (and PCs) as long as I can, but my husband will insist after about 4-5 years. He's the \"emergency service\" person, so he prefers if we don't have very old phones. If only they would continue to work well longer!
