How To Get What You Want For Christmas

Go Public
Since people are curious by nature,try leaving your computer or laptop open on a website of items you may want. Bookmark your most-wanted items, fill your desktop with those sites whenever you leave your computer unattended, and cycle through your choices over time. Nosy onlookers will snoop and get at least a few hints on what to buy.
Be Devious
Fake it 'til you make it obvious. Send a text message to say your "mother" in response to a gift idea for your "father." Pretend your desired gift is what she's giving him, praise her choice and add that it's too bad she already has something for you because you'd really like it. Then send it to the intended recipient -- your girlfriend, wife, best friend, or anyone else you might have "accidentally" called on speed dial -- instead of your mother.
Socialize
Facebook is an easy way to make your wants and desires known. All it takes is the click of a button to "Like" a product, website, store, service or vendor on Facebook. That "like" will show up on your Wall, appear on your Friends feed, and guide even the most unimaginative gift-giver to the right stuff.
Just Tell 'Em
When all else fails - just tell 'em what you want! Merry Christmas!
