while present snooping...
my sister and i always snoop out presents, so we know what we're getting every year. this year, the main thing i wanted was a new digital camera- a NICE one. it was the only big thing i asked for. [last year it was an ipod nano, which was then $200, and i got it.] the camera i picked out was less than $200. well, we were snooping and i found a digital camera. it's NOT what i wanted at all, and they know exact what i want in one. there IS a possibility it isn't for me, because another family member wanted one. but i'm almost positive it is.
so my question is, if it is my present, how do i let my parents know it's not what i wanted, without hurting their feelings? i ABSOLUTELY hate to sound like i'm not appreciative of what i get, because i am. but since this is the only big thing i wanted and it's not even really what i wanted, i'm disappointed. help?!

Drop a couple of hints, and maybe they will notice. If i were you i would get in big trouble for snooping.Dont tell, because if you do then you might not even get that one. All you can really do is hope that it is the one you had wanted. Be happy for what you get. You could get it for your next birthday or if you get a job like babysitting then you could buy it yourself.

okay, without letting your parents know that you have possibly found your present, starting dropping mad hints about the camera that you want. print out pictures and stick them on the refrigerator, open up bestbuy.com on their computer and pull up the camera you want. there's tons of stuff you can do. hopefully, you can make them realize if they made a mistake. always count on the possibility that it's for another family member. if on christmas morning, you get the wrong one, act surprised (you don't want them to know you snooped), and depending on your situation, you can find the receipt and go return it yourself, or you can tell your parents, "hey guys, i really appreciate this, but the other camera was the one i wanted." don't be disappointed yet :)

I don't think you should say anything at all. I think you should thank them for what they got you and at least try to act grateful. They love you, but they're not perfect... Christmas isn't about getting gifts anyway.

You sound very materialistic. Why, back in my day, if you had a digital camera at all you were cool, and none of them had more than 2 megapixels. Every kid and there brother didn't have cell phones back then either. Why, for fun, we'd play the sega saturn or something like that. I have found that with cameras, you need stuff to take pictures of, so that should be something to look into. Most people with cameras lack that important aspect. Maybe you should ask for a red ryder bb gun next year. That would be cool.

Maybe your sister can help you out. Next time your parents go shopping, maybe she could show them the one that you wanted. That way you can let your parents know without being obvious. It would look better coming from your sister than having it seem like you arent grateful. Hope my advice helps ♥ Jenny
