when someone gets me a deck and its not a deck I tell them to get I want them to at least really like it themselves. I want them to put in the effort to find it like I put in the effort to divine with it and I want it to feel like them if it isnt something I already like because i can at least use it to connect to them. but people keep getting me decks they dont even particularly like themselves, they just know I like decks so they get me a mass market deck I already know about and dislike. and what am I supposed to do with them? I hate trashing gifts. getting gifts I dont like and feel obligated to use is genuinely stressful...

@georgia Thinking of good gifts yearly is pretty hard because you eventually get someone all the things you know they wanted, so it's understandable that people would go "this person likes this category of thing" but crappy gift you don't like is an unique kind of shitty. TBH the best thing to do is probably go through the uncomfortable explanation to the gift-giver to dispel the bad feel.

One of the greatest advantages of being man is that we can just gift eachother obscure tools and everyone will be happy, completely skipping every gift problem. Christmas, birthday, wedding, tool is always good.

@georgia I totally would if you didn't live in another continent lol. Actually thinking of buying a whole bunch of those and engraving the names of each of my uncles on them to give one each, didn't do it this year because this december has been chaotic and busy.
