By now you have come to realize mom and dad know you better than you know yourself. They have your number. They will be pretty good as they are each year in picking gifts to match your personality and or things they think are good for educational purposes.

Leave the surprises to them as they will get it right even if you cannot think of anything right now. You have roughly a month to add to the list.

Perhaps you might want to do something special this year done in your name. There are a lot of people suffering out there and charities such as World Wide Life Fund, Steven Lewis Foundation, etc. that could use gift donations in your name made by your friends and family.

Maybe you could pick a charity like WWF and have friends buy certificates to protect a certain area or the rainforest from being cut down or money in your name can go to pediatric AIDS causes or to terminally ill kids.

Check this out it's for terminally/seriously ill children started by Paul Newman called Hole In The Wall Camps http://www.holeinthewallcamps.org/htwc/index?page=home

Your donations or donations in your name can send them to camp so they can have a good time and act normal for one summer. Very cool indeed.

As far as gifts you can by in a shop I suggest
the following CD Vanity Project Featuring Steven Page as something new you should try or any CD by Barenaked Ladies inclusive of Barenaked For The Holidays www.bnlmusic.com

I suggest live theatre tickets, books on something you want to learn ie for dummies guides. Keep the list simple and you may recieve more gifts you never thought of that are great than if mom and dad buy everything off your HUGE list and then you get disappointed after a few days with it.

Thanks ♥
