[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Maybe “wish list” is not the way to say it. She basically said (with no prompting btw), “I’d really love a MacBook and could really use it, but I don’t think anyone will buy it for me because I’m not important / special enough…” (Note we are the only folks buying her gifts - no boyfriend, no family back home with any means to send a gift let alone a MacBook, etc). So “wish list” is my wording but actually now that I’m thinking about it, this is kinda worse. Pretty manipulative. Ugh. [/quote] If my child hinted at something like this, I would ask how much they are planning to contribute to the present themselves. That's a huge ask for Christmas from a non-relative OP. If you can afford it and want to, go for it. For the rest of us down here on the middle class level, we are buying our aupair movie tickets, an ULTA giftcard and a $100 visa gift card. [/quote]
