Useless Wishlist

Our wishlist emails were supposed to be something to look out for. But when J forwrded to me the emails, we just had to laugh at the way things turned out. We were one of the last people to send out our list so we got to see what the others wrote. Would you believe that majority of the people in our family requested for gift cards? If you analyse it, it actually resulted to one cancelling out the other. J and I both agreed it all defeated the entire purpose of exchanging gifts. Plus, the element of surprise is gone because you are sure you are just going to receive a gift voucher. It was something that was unexpected and was not considered in the course of planning. I hope next year it will be different so the gift-giving would be more fun and exciting.
