Receiving gift related to hobbies?

Someone has to know me pretty well to get me anything kitty related. They have to be black cats. They can't be Halloweenish since it stays out all year. It can't be what I call "Country Clutter" style.
Best just check my Amazon list! LOL!

My 2 passions are crafts (making cards), and my cats!
So if I get stuff related to one of these 2, I am in 7th heaven!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny, but although I love my cats, I'm not into tons of things with cats on them. I have a few wall hangings that I found at a store that have cats on them, but I wouldn't want my whole house to be cat oriented with prints, blankets, knick knacks and all that.

What I'm really into is cooking and baking. I love cooking and baking related items. Cookie cutters that are unique, anything really. also tshirts from places I have been. I love shirts like that. It reminds me of what I did, who I was there with and all the fun I had.

I'm not too picky about what people get me, I really hate getting gifts, I would much rather be the giver than the receiver. Dave just got me a pair of sneakers that I thought were the coolest thing ever.... they are TOTALLY CLEAR, made by Levis, and you can wear wild, funky socks with them, so the sneakers look like the pattern your socks are, lol. I love them, and they were a whole $10.00, lol.

Well someone gave me a tiny toy stuffed anteater once but I already had it and it's a giant anteater anyway lol they both are in the dog toy bin and the dogs don't play with them either. Then someone sent me a cute little tamandua figurine to cheer me up over something and that was really cool. I really don't have much anteater stuff though so it's hard to go wrong but Tamanduas are best. But I'll be grateful they thought of me and not complain, I didn't tell them I already had one or anything and just said thanks.

Or I collect little glasses and cups for Pua but I prefer them to look like miniature glasses, not just a fancy shot glass for example though those work when giving her treats just fine. Then my dad made me a display shelf for her glasses and that was cool.

It's nice they put that much thought into it but they don't always realize the whole picture. Like was said buying the wrong art supplies for an artist. Actually I need to pretend I like gifts a lot. People just don't know what to get me so it at least being in the realm of something I like is better than average, lol. And hey any gift is better than getting nothing.
