A former team I worked on had an ice cream social day, and the only rule was you ABSOLUTELY couldn't tell the new people ahead of time.

It was one of the coolest things to just watch new employee's process of confusion turning into pure joy when everyone in the office just got up at once to leave and we got to convince the new employees that yes, we were really all going to get ice cream on company time.

You're an adult. Just buy it yourself and stop waiting for others to make you happy especially if you're just hoping they randomly guess you want this crap.

I would love to get people gifts like this. I always just make the assumption that if they want stuff like that, they have bought it for themselves.

I got a tamagotchi and push button water toys from my SIL for Christmas and let me tell you that was my favorite present. I have played both multiple times. They also always get me something fuzzy. I dont like getting gifts, I prefer giving, but the little simple things are always my favorite!

I'd like an adult-sized Big Wheel. Recumbent bikes just aren't the same.

I love tiny figurines and polished rocks/minerals (any really). I've been collecting polished rocks since I was a child. They just got really cool patterns and reflections. Also VG, chocolate, candies, and novelty hats are other things I dig.

I would love to have an electric racetrack set like I had when I was young. The kind with the bendy track that went up the wall so it was "gravity defying ". Lol. That thing brought me so much joy.

I don;t get people. I really don't. You are an adult - if your bills are paid & your must-do chores are done - you can do whatever you want with your money and time. Go, buy yourself a toy, go to a park with swings, use trampoline, pick up some friends and make water war with water guns... Just enjoy your life - you have one. I have / had / done each and every thing of ones listed above: I have plushies, go to ice cream instead coffe, I got myself a "kiddie pool" for our small garden. I intednd to be happy, not a perfect cog in society's machine,

I'm very happy that you have done exactly what you wanted in your life. However, if it was that simple then people would do it. You have no idea what is going on in people's lives so just cut everyone some slack, extend some compassion, and realize that not everyone has the same privileges in life that you do okay

I don't ever know what to say when people ask me for a gift idea. I say they can check my book it's on Amazon. I don't really want a lot.

What I really really want is for all those incredible happy and fun toddler clothes and prints to be made in adult size, because that's my middle-aged aesthetic.

Oh my goodness yes! And all the sweet baby prints, too, like tiny bees. And the sequined appliquees you can turn a different color rubbing them the opposite way!

I don't care anymore if someone looks at me when I'm wearing a band aid with a cute bunny or other funny drawings. No, I'm not a kid anymore but I just like them.

I have everything I need (which is little), so my gift of choice is: nothing. Please let my birthday or Christmas pass without giving me stuff I don't actually need.

Puppets. I love puppets. Also, I don't understand why they are not more common as gifts for kids, too. They can be taken anywhere and inspire creative play.
