[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What bothers me about want, need, wear, read is sticking gifts into arbitrary categories. I always asked for books as a child. And what if your child needs new boots and also wants boots? SO the boots go in want, the books go in read, and you get a her a new robe for wear. Or what if you put the books in want, the boots in wear, then you can't get the robe. So shift the boots to need and you can still do the robe for wear unless she wants an expensive robe then it's a want and you have to shift the books to read.

If you only want to buy a few gifts, then do that. People always chirp that they do the want, need, wear, read and how it works so well for them keeping gift giving so simple. Just a buy a few gifts. You don't need the stupid rhyme.[/quote]

You do you and I’ll do me.  I like the want, need, wear read.  It gives me a structure for shopping and I find it works well for my family.  It isn’t a mandate, you can mix and match however you like and you can get two of one category (or even three) if it works that year.  [/quote]

Oh, and you can [i]always[/i] get the robe. [/quote]
