If I just so happen to wander into my mom's closet, I might find out what I'm getting...

Last year I did. I wanted a camera SOOO badly! I saw one in her little hiding place. I was SOOO excited.
My sister ended up getting it on Christmas though.
I think I'll go look aroudn though now...I don't think my mom's gone shopping yet though...

The last couple of years my mom has just had me buy my own presents. It works because I always get what I want/need, but it takes all of the fun out of it. So lame.

my (ex =/ ) bestfriend always did that. Her mom would go shopping with her and pick out presents, then wrap them even though she knew everything she was getting.
Why bother?? Thats so weird. You can always return things...and a list helps too

+2. I don't need to look, I only ask for a couple things, and I basically know what I'm getting.

this year my mom threatened that if we looked she would know and we wouldnt get anything. so i am to scared to look. my mom knows everything, i swear.

I don't look! I didn't even do it when I was young, I still thought it was awesome getting a surprise. Although I've accidentally run across stuff before, I just close my eyes, bite my tongue and try to forget haha.

I never peek and my mom knows I won't. Usually the presents are just in her room in a bag.
