I only really ask since 3 people I know are having birthdays this month. How difficult do you think you are to get good gifts for?
I think I am sort of difficult if you don't get me a gift card or money, but I do have a variety of interests so it sort of depends.

If it's not money or a gift card, then yes.
...on the rare occasion that I get a gift.

Yes.
I'm very particular. And if I want something, I usually spend my own money to buy it first.

If I want something I get it. Because of that I've been told I'm impossible to shop for by some people.
The trick for buying me stuff is get me food/drink that I'm too cheap to buy for myself. I'm overly frugal when it comes to food, so I party like a rock star when somebody gets me $10 of Beef Jerky. Something I love, but I never buy because it's too expensive.

Yeah.
Get me anything other than cash or a gift card and you'd likely be giving me something I'll never use.

Not really
Money or chocolate, and you'll have my heart.

The problem people have with shopping for me is if I really want something I already own it. I don't wait for other people to get it for me. I think that's a good quality to have bht it apparently makes me a pain to get gifts for. I'm content with Amazon gift cards though.

That depends on who you ask. My mom, my brother, and my younger cousins think I'm easy to shop for. My stuck up aunt and her daughter think I'm very, very hard to shop for. Granted, all they want to do is go to their favorite store and snatch something off the sale table.

My mom says I'm difficult to buy for, but my wife finds it incredibly easy to buy for me. If you stick with Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Star Wars, or Batman, you're usually set when it comes to me. Or an Amazon gift card.

I'm OK with chocolate as long as it isn't "soapy".

No, because I always ask for a bunch of CDs/DVDs/video games that are easy to find on Amazon or even the local mall.

I'm easy if you actually pay attention to anything I talk about have an interest in. Unfortunatly this seems to go over the heads of most who buy me gifts and I end up with the bland things.

I can be, yeah. I don't TRY to be difficult, it's just that I'm happy with what I have and there hasn't been anything that has made me say "oh man, I just GOTTA have that!" for a long time. Especially now that I'm not into video games anymore. I'm happy with cash or gift cards (especially ones for iTunes or Amazon).
Fortunately there are a few "go-to" gifts that my mom gets me for Christmas that she knows I'll like. I always get tickets to a Penguins game and a personalized calendar for the new year. When I say "personalized" I mean that instead of stock photos of beaches and waterfalls, each month has photos of me from the past year. For example, April has pictures of my trip to New Orleans for WrestleMania. It's definitely an attention-getter at work.

Games, movies, and gift cards. That's all I ever need. Everybody I know is aware of it.
