A, but don't often get them |
| GatorDave | 16 Jan 2017 11:25 a.m. PST |
E. Nobody would know which one's to get me unless I provided a list. Kind of takes the fun out of it that way. |

I don't ask for things for my birthday or any of the other present based holidays. Never been my thing. Now, following a tradition from SWMBO, I get my mom a present on my birthday. Think about it. She did all the work. |

B My wife has stopped buying them for me because I never paint the ones she already got me previously. I may try to ask for already painted figures this year. |

F: I almost always buy them for *myself* for my birthday, as I did last year. Always something 'different', not just more musketeers to finish off that unit. I don't think anyone else has given me minis for my birthday since the first I ever owned, picked out of the J.C.Penney Christmas catalog. |

F. Used to, but there's no one left. Anyway, birthdays are marked now, not celebrated. For Christmas, there is always something from and for me, but this year was custom dice. I already have enough unpainted lead. (Turned out the dice needed to be painted too, but at least they were faster.) |

Not typically. Board games and books are usually on there though. |

As above – F: I almost always buy them for *myself* for my birthday (and Christmas, Father's Day). #1 daughter did get me an X-Wing starter for Christmas, but only because she could get it on Amazon and not set foot in the "nerd store". |

A and whenever else I get a present. That or money to buy my own minis. |

| Patrick Sexton | 16 Jan 2017 2:53 p.m. PST |
Yep and for Christmas and our anniversary also. |
| whitphoto | 16 Jan 2017 3:16 p.m. PST |
No, I buy throughout the year. My birthday present tends to be paintball with my sons. We all enjoy it but the $250 USD-300 price tag for the day tends to be much |
 Herkybird | 16 Jan 2017 3:37 p.m. PST |
A, but rarely get what I wanted! |

F – I ask for money with which I buy the miniatures I want. |
| Gonsalvo | 16 Jan 2017 8:07 p.m. PST |
I buty them and disburse to family members to give to me for the above gift giving opportunities as needed. Then I paint them! Seriously, even as another gamer, knowing the exact manufacturer, unit size and composition, and which units someone else needs for their wargames armies is very difficult. |
| Mako11 | 17 Jan 2017 12:19 a.m. PST |
B Doesn't everyone? Money is safer than providing lists, I suspect. |
| Green Tiger | 17 Jan 2017 2:10 a.m. PST |
f- not since I was about seven when my Mother said I wasn't allowed any more. |

A. The kids think all my list sucks except for the toys so they insist that everything from them has to be for gaming. Plus I have lots of stuff so keeping a running list of things I am looking for is a good way to give people something to get me. |

Yes, from my Mom as it is so close to Christmas. I don't get greedy, just a few packs of Crusader… |
