Unless your birthday is in early January.
(Mine is in November, so I've got a ways to go.)
WANT TO TELL YOUR PARENTS WHAT GIFT(S) YOU WOULD LIKE, BUT DON'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO SAY IT?
WANT TO PRESENT IT IN A HELPFUL AND GUIDING FORMAT?
Well, then.
This just might be the guide for YOU!
First off, you need a word processor you can copy pictures into.
I use Microsoft Works Word Processor, but pretty much any application such as MS Word or OpenOffice is fine.
Let your parents know the file name of the list, in case they get stuck on gift ideas.
Secondly, you need an idea of what you want.
If ever you run across something cool while browsing the web, you can copy the information in, at ANY time of year!
What information, you say?
Well, you don't have to exactly follow this format, but I feel it lays everything out in a simple, easy-to-follow way.
I start with a picture of the item.
Simply copy and paste it into your document.
From there, you can downsize the image so it fits well, but remember that it should still convey a good idea of what the item looks like.
Then I provide the name of the item.
This is usually either the title of the item (if it's a movie, book, game, etc.) or just a description.
If it's an item of clothing, put down the size as well.
Liars! Manifesto T-Shirt : We Are All Liars (M)
Then I put down the price.
$15.00
Make sure to check that the price is still current.
You may want to check multiple sources to see if there's a lower price on the item.
Last, I put down the URL of the site I found it at.
If I found it at a store, I put the name of the store in place of a URL.

Altogether, it looks like this:
