About 15 years ago, I was out shopping with my mom and aunt and when we walked past a bunch of power strips, I made an offhand "oh, I totally need one of those" type of comment. Several months later, my aunt gave me one for Christmas and I was *super* annoyed it wasn't a cooler gift, but damn if I don't still have and use that thing.

This year I told my dad that I want my car interior professionally cleaned, because I haven't had time to do it since my car was broken into in August. Not super exciting for the giver, but I'll be thrilled to be rid of the last of the broken glass.

I've had the alarm clock across the room for 15 years, and believe me, I have absolutely no problem simply getting back in bed. My boyfriend and I share a bed 3 nights a week, and I have got to get this solved before we move in together.

First solo flight was at 19, solo road trip at 21. This was really just lack of opportunity, though- my immediate family is local and my parents were driving vacation people. There was no reason to put me on a plane or train to anywhere by myself. I love traveling alone, honestly. I don't have to answer to anyone!
