when people ask me what I want, i ask for things like helmets, shoes, gloves etc. and then insist that I need to pick them to ensure they fit first.
I find the item I want, flick them a picture of the product, the price, and why It's a good gift and low and behold, I get exactly what I want/need.
But my wife tells me that my family is sensible and boring...
From her side of the family I was given 2 pairs of socks, both white, which I will never wear in a million years, donated to my dad instantly. I walk around wearing nothing but black, grey and dark blue for years and suddenly white socks!? not sure how being surprised with something I hate is more interesting than asking for something I actually need...
I didn't get any tack this year at least.
