my mother, and she loses some awesome points because she made me buy my own presents. or maybe she gains them in some people's eyes, but i prefer to be surprised and delighted by how thoughtful someone was when shopping for me. i bought myself howl's moving castle too. it's my favorite miyazaki film and i somehow never owned it.
Awesome, AWESOME movie. I actually was playing the soundtrack on my iPod on the way to work.
We do lists in my family. It takes a lot of the fun out of it but they were good and surprised me by finding my Amazon Wish List.
