Someone to share the excitement

[RedWildFlower]

I have this horrible problem...

I bought awesome (pony/MH/collectable) presents for my sister and have no one to share it with. I cant even come here to the arena and have people who i KNOW would share in my excitement because she gets on the arena everyday! Urgh its so frustrating lol!!

I know this isnt a huge issue or even really considered a problem but its really frustrating being excited and having no one to "squeee" with. I have to wait almost two months to see her reaction.

Anyone else had this problem? A time where you bought a present for someone so perfect you could barely wait till they opened it? Or just pretend you know what i got her and tell me how much she'll like it

I can hardly contain myself when I get an awesome gift for someone and have to wait to give it to him/her.

Yes I am that way when I get something for Christmas for my daughter!

Omg, the other day my daughter showed me two competitions in her pony mag, the prizes were white celestia and the twilight sparkle castle thingy. She was shattered when I said she couldn't enter cause it was an English comp, and we get the mags a few months later anyway. Little did she know I had already ordered them from tru and they were sitting in the top of my wardrobe!! I sooo want to give them to her now just to see her face!!! Hurry up Christmas!!!

See my child is usually with me when shopping, but she swears she forgets what I get her.  If she does not she is a good actor.  LOL

LOL I know the feeling. Hubby's a member too!

kezrob23 - I love that! I love when someone says "oh I want that" and inside i'm dancing about singing "I got it for youuuuuuu alreadyyyy" lol.


Diamond - Well at least you know she'll like it lol. AND if she does remember what you bought at least you raised a thoughtful enough child to feign excitement

Yes, I did a couple years ago for hubby. He even tried guessing but was no where close his face was so worth it when he opened it.

I love giving gifts to people, but I'm so bad at waiting for them to get it and not being able to sqeee and get pumped and such! Totally understand what you're going through!

[RedWildFlower]

I just got her last present in the mail the other day it was so hard staying calm and not spilling the beans. I love getting gifts for my sister the most because we are close i know her so well.

Yes, this, the reactions are the best!

Ooooo you got something in the mail for me?

We both used to be terrible at keeping gifts secrets. Mostly from our dad. I don't know how many gifts were ruined because of "oh daddy why don't you wear your new tie?"
I'm better now.

I got some cool gifts too! I think you'll like them dear sister.

Hey you troll get off my thread lol

[HelloGoodbye]

My best friend is very bashful and hates opening her presents in front of people.  I have to force her to open whatever I get her while I'm there so I can see her reaction 

[RedWildFlower]

Lol yah i'm not a huge fan of being the center of attention but i'm totally cool with being a creeper and staring when people open my gifts for them.
