My mom and I have a cool thing worked out where she gives me a budget and her credit card, then I go shopping. I give the items to her, and she wraps them and those are my Christmas presents. It saves her the hassle, and I get exactly what I want.
So yes, all the stuff I got on behalf of her is clothing/accessories.

I came, I saw, I did a little shopping.
Not really. I like fashion, obviously, but I'm also kinda picky, so I prefer to pick out my clothes myself. I also love being surprised on Christmas and I love getting things that I wouldn't normally buy myself. I'm always buying myself clothes and shoes and whatnot, so I don't really ask for it too much for Christmas. Although my Amazon.com wish list did have a few pairs of shoes on it.
Not really. I prefer to pick out my own fashion-related items. I want things like dvd's, software (I'm a geek!!), a digital camera (which I picked out last weekend and my mom bought), an IPod, etc. My ex is coming to visit this weekend and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I really didn't know what to tell him. So he's taking me shopping. I might get clothes then. My mom is also taking me shopping and letting me pick out a few things.
I have asked for some GCs (French Connection, Zara) but mostly I've asked for gadgets and things- namely an iPod! I wouldn't trust most of my family or in laws to pick out clothes for me.
I pretty much only ask for clothes, but I'm very specific. I'll send my family a list of exactly what I want and in what size. Pretty much if anyone buys me clothes I didn't specifically ask for, I'll hate them (the clothes, not the people).
I asked my DH for a pair of Louboutin brown pumps for Christmas. Not sure if I'm getting those after my Jimmy Choo boots for my birthday. He may be shoe shopped out.
