have any of you guys sneaked around to find out what your parents had
gotten you for your birthday/X-Mas gifts are anything? I found mine this year and all I got to say is YAY!!! The 'rents suck at hiding presents.  -------------

I am horrible about ruining surprises, even now, and when I was a kid my parents never got a Christmas gift I didn't see coming. I like being sneaky. -------------

suspense, it drives me crazy! -------------

werd. i hate ruining my holiday whther it be christmas or my birthday. although lately i've not been surprised with my presents anyway because i've been involved by saying exactly what i want. this year i hope to get a new 520W psu, some accessories for my Zen Vision, cash and a Konica Minolta DiMage A200. just ask whale about thje r0x factor of that camera. maybe i can finish selling my paintball stuff and my old nomad and go buy a hard drive, second DL dvd burner, and an ati radeon X1800XT. -------------

I used to do that. It's great when you find out that they got you something you really don't like, it gives you time to prepare and deal with it like someone who isn't a total brat. However it sucks when it's something good and you ruin the surprise. Since I've matured I've really got past the point of caring enough to go looking.
EDIT: sporx definatly has some of the scariest sigs ever. |

I usually get only one really special thing, and the rest is jut things
that are usefull that are from wal-mart or somewhere, and Im a horrible
actor, and my parents would hate it if they thought I wasnt pleased
with the gift they gave me, so I just wait and see what they get me. Its not like its a cure to cancer or aids, so it can wait. -------------

I did one year, and found that they had gotten me a 13" tv. It was my first tv, so I was stoked. Now my TV is much bigger, and I stopped searching for gifts. As I got older, I stopped asking for things I would only use on xmas day, and started to shorten my lists to things I actually needed. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

Normally I know the "big things" I'm getting before they even arrive at my house, but as for hiding other stuff, my parents are freaking ninjas. I hate surprises though.

| I always know almost everything I'm getting. Mainly because my parents never know what to get, so I have to tell them pretty much. And 9/10 times my stuff comes from the web, and I found the passwords for all my family members accounts, so its really easy to know. |

My parents never know what to get me so I end up telling them what to get me. Thus leads to no surprises.

I used to, but my parents have gotten strategic in hiding the presents.
They hide them all over the house, and once even went so far as to
putting a present in the wall so I wouldn't find it. I wasn't that
desperate, I just noticed that a panel on the wall was a bit crooked
and got suspicious.

yup. I used to look for presents, but I finally realized that finding out before sucks. Once, I found out what my parents got me before hand, and I had asked for this really cool nerf gun, but they had gotten me the less cool one. I started dropping hints that I hoped they got the good one, NOT the stupid one, made them feel bad. God I wish I hadn't done that, guilt. |

My parent's haven't even started shopping yet, but I absolutely hate it
when I find out what I'm getting(even though nowadays my "big
present" is something I'm almost positive I'm getting. The
surprise is 95% of the whole experience for me.

funny...
To answer Cheetos3254 question, I found 3 purfume boxes(Lucky, Romance, and Live) and a pair of pants that I wanted. I'm gettting a new computer but that's not a surprise cuz the 'rents told me that they were getting it but I couldn'y open it until X-Mas. I'll leave the rest for surprises. -------------

yeah, I found some one year, but my parents found out before christmas and returned that stuff and got different stuff (this was when I was like 5). Then one year I was already on christmas break, home alone because my parents still had to work and I went as far as unwrapping a frew presents and rewrapping them. Now I don't really care, and if I did it wouldn't matter, my parents keep all the gifts at their offices now. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

I asked for money... I wont get it though, my parents think getting money for christmas is right up there with Devil Worship. My mom's friend works at Microsoft, so my mom gets her friend to buy me MS stuff for the empolyee only store(where they get like a 20% discount) so she asked me if there was anthing I wanted from MS for xmas, so I told her I wanted a xbox 360 and shes like "How much does it cost?" I said "More than you can afford." -------------
