| I chose practical, gift certificates & the giver's time.
I never know what to ask for when someone asks what I'd like from them.
By practical, I think of something that I would like but would not buy myself (wine-making equipment).
With Gift Certificates - I am able to go out with hubby and enjoy them.
But I prefer time with the giver the most.

| Practical - as it saves me money
Gift Certificates - saves me money and allows me to buy what I normally wouldn't spend on.
Card- I love the sentiment behind a card
Giver's Time - is very valuable as in today's world everyone is also so hurried
Lunch/Dinner out - this is great cause otherwise I wouldn't splurge on it.

| These are all excellent choices but I opted for specific because I'd specify CHOCOLATE, no matter how small the bar or box. It's not about the expense, it's about the enjoyment I get from it and chocolate is ALWAYS my '''preferred''' gift 
I'm so easy to please, just give me chocolate....lol.
AHHH...what better distraction and de-stresser than reading a good book while munching on chocolate *BLISS*
