Its a rainy Friday here but at least its not torrential downpours so the rain thats falling should certainly help with the grass, plants and flowers. After today's rain, the weekend looks nice.
With Sunday being Mothers Day I've been hinting about a gift certificate for my hair salon so I can get my hair cut. Yesterday I was talking about how shaggy my dog was looking and how much she needed her appointment with the groomer.
I'm in the same boat 
If none of my kids pick up on my hinting about needing a good haircut and style I guess I'll have to just make the appointment and pay for it myself. 
When a gift getting occasion arises do you hint for a gift you might want or do you come right out and say it?

With my dad, I come right out and say it. Last Christmas, I sent him a link to a Golden Girls calendar and a link to a specific candle. I said I’d like one of the two, and to pick so I’d be surprised. He ended up getting me both.
With my sister, I don’t usually need to hint. I hope you get that gift certificate!

That was so nice of your dad to get you both items you hinted at.
I hope i get the gift certificate too but I'll be thankful for whatever I get.

I need a labotomy, and then I would probably need a haircut too. I hope you two get your haircuts.

I'll be happy with whatever I get even though I've insisted I don't need anything (until I realized I desperately need a haircut)
Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day

@Marilynda1225 Mother's Day is a great excuse to gift our moms with pamper items.
My Gramma used to give my mother a nice big Martha Washington geranium every year, it was always the first flower of the year, and she always looked forward to receiving that. I have always given Klaudia an outdoor flower or pot of them, just as my sweet Gramma did. I like that tradition.

Pretty is the only person who would buy me a gift and I tell her I don't need anything. We buy what we need as we go along so there's no need for gift giving. (All our money is pooled anyway so it doesn't matter.)

I try to get my kids not to waste their money on me. My daughter works at a thrift store and gets $13 free in items weekly so I do allow her to use that to get me gifts so she’s not actually spending any money.
I hope you get your wish.
We’ve gotten to much rain lots of flooded areas.

I don't hint but I have a couple lists on Amazon and Walmart my kids always go to and look. If they ask me what I want, I just say a quiet evening or something like that. I need a hair cut too. It's been two years growing out my own color and needs some taming.

Mostly I think I'd come right out and say what I'd like. I hope someone in your family has been listening! lol

I need a haircut too. There's no one to hint to; and besides that, my hubby and I stopped giving each other gifts years ago. If I want/need something, he just wanted me to get it. I hope you get your salon gift certificate.

I don't hint. My friends know me. They know what I like to receive. They never disappoint me.

Firstly let me say Happy Mother's Day tomorrow.
I hope the hint was taken lol.
I have not had to pay for a haircut in about 28 years. Yvonne cut mine and then about a decade ago I started shaving it all off.
Baldness rules.
I don't hint for anything. Yvonne is the only person who buys me gifts and I love being surprised

Hello, I think I've been in shoes like this too, and I think it's better to tell them straight away if anyone has any ideas. I hope the kids will take the hint and you'll be pleasantly disappointed.
