i don,t buy anything, as a practicing freegan, with few exceptions.

for gifts, i either craft them by hand, or i find something which makes me think of a person in my life, and then i gift it to them.

Interesting. Are you more artistic? How do you choose between crafting and buying stuff?

I rarely "need" anything, except water and Web hosting. What I don't need, I don't buy.

I am an artist, and my primary medium is code. Often I gift websites or physical craft made of recovered parts.
