The best kind of Christmas presents are ones where someone gets you something you didn't expect or would think of buying yourself but ended up loving. Like 4 years back I got a big box from my mom. Thought it might be a game console and was excited but surprised she spent so much. Instead it was an air fryer she got for cheap and its so much better, probably my all time favorite adult christmas gift.
Its kinda why I think Christmas lists are kind of a stupid idea for anyone really close to you because they could just buy whats on them if they really wanted to.
I think christmas lists are a good idea, but I kinda use them as more of a loose guideline. Like, I intentionally put "funny socks" or "apron with a food related pun on it" to be somewhat surprised, or if the people know your interests well enough, they can get you something you'll really like and still be surprised by.
