I'm SERIOUSLY STUCK for Gift Ideas (not for others....but for myself). My parents and my sister are haranguing me about what I'd like for Christmas (one idea my parents have said "ABSOLUTELY NO!" to, and that is another autographed/framed jersey from Jean Ratelle..... I have an 'in' for getting it made, having it signed and having it framed. I have connections for all of that.....I have even a spot right next to my Vic Hadfield jersey, and I have the same unique coin so I was envisioning the Jean Ratelle jersey signed and framed to match)
But my parents have laid down The Law: Absolutely NO MORE jerseys. Fine. Whatever. So my next idea is a new PC speaker system because my present BOSE Companion series 1 2.0 speakers are 20 years old....and even in spite of my hearing loss (or perhaps including it) I am no longer happy with the sound quality of this Bose system. I'd like something with fuller, richer sound and more power so I don't have to crank the volume dial up to 50 or 75% just to hear it. But then I think considering my hearing loss it wouldn't make a difference.....
So I really and truly don't know. I don't even spend money on myself through the year.....It is extremely rare that I spend money on myself. I did buy myself a new pair of winter boots that I desperately needed because I didn't have any....And I am content with that. I honestly don't want anything else.
But my parents are being very stubborn and saying "if you don't want anything.....then you can take back the gifts you've bought for us and we just won't do gifts AGAIN this year. It's been probably 5 years since we've exchanged gifts, so it doesn't matter to us."
So I NEED ideas....and I'm running out of time!

Socks are always nice. If any of your family have cooking, baking or crafting skills, then ask them to make something for you. Then there are novelty/gag gifts. My brother gave everyone 'tactical bacon' one year, to much amusement. Failing that, ask for an unspecified good book, movie or music. If you want to ge pricier, what about stuff for your car? Do you have fix-flat, an emergency car charger, or small auto repair kit or even an emergency blanket?

Thank you very much for the gift ideas......Yes, a book or gift card to a bookstore is always a solid choice. My parents are willing to spend a fair amount...But I don't drive or have my license due to my Meniere's Disease diagnosis. Otherwise car related gifts would be a must! Thank you!

Well...It took some hunting and some twisting of my arms and legs, but I finally found some gifts that I am satified with and that my parents are happy to give me: two new button-down shirts and a new pillow. On a side note, I'm still seriously considering replacing my decade-old BOSE desktop speakers with a new Z623 2.1 system from Logitech because I have never really been happy with the sound quality of those BOSE one-offs from Costco. (Especially if I am watching Mouse Minus...I have to crank up the volume dial to half or three-quarters just to hear it.....and yes I am considering my fluctuating hearing loss).
But I am thnking that with the more powerful Z623 2.1 system...I would get better quality sound so I wouldn't need to crank it up so much to hear it.... Plus I have a 25.00 dollar gift card from Amazon.
Decisions. Decisions.

My grandmother is the greatest finder/giver of socks! She always gives amazing, good quality, warm and comfy socks! (Though this year I got a losing lottery ticket)

But then I think considering my hearing loss it wouldn't make a difference..... You know, a pair of good headphones would probably be better for that. Especially if you're living with other people and you need to be more considerate with your listening volume. I mean I don't know how good or bad those BOSE speakers are but 75% volume is usually unbearably loud. So if you don't mind wearing headphones, you should look into them as well.

Good morning. Thank you for your reply.
I do have a pair of Logitech G935s with 7.1 channel DTS-X v 2.0 that I purchased when ANTHEM was released and I have been using those quite regularly....but I don't always want to have to wear a stereo system on my ears. I would often like to be free and have the speakers on my desk instead.
