Exactly.
Same.
I mean do not get me wrong I appreciate, love, and cherish the intent, I'm not a monster, but I don't like owning a bunch of stuff, I'm super-picky about what I do own, and hate clutter and stuff I have to "hang on to" not because I like it but because I would feel guilty if I got rid of it.
That's why I have zero problems with getting money or gift certificates.  They don't feel "impersonal" to me, the feel like a gift from someone that gets me. >

I'm exactly the same way!
I don't like owning a lot of stuff either, particularly things that have no real use.
When people ask what I want, I just say "nothing". If there was something I wanted, I'd get it.
