I'm scared

tingelMy birthday is in about a month and I talked to my sister a few days ago and she said she's found the perfect gift for me, not what I wished for but I'd love it.
...
I'm considering running away. You see, my sister loves me and she spends lots of effort in finding birthday and Christmas gifts for me. And she's ALWAYS convinced she's got the perfect one and she's always so proud of herself when presenting me with it. But the thing is, as much as we love each other, she doesn't know me that well. Between my best friend and I my sister's gifts have become some kind of running gag. Some of the highlights: a pair of metal cups she found on a flea market and fell instantly in love with (I hate to clutter my place with things. They just gather dust), an expensive scarf (it's butt-ugly and scratchy. But hey, it's designer stuff), an expensive perfumed shower gel (I don't care for beauty products at all. I've chosen my brand and stick to it) The problem is that I can't tell her how terrible her gifts really are. I kinda missed the opportunity. It would be cruel to tell her after all these years. Not when I never said anything before. So this time I had a plan and I acted on it. I told her months ago specifically what I wished for. And then I had this talk with her last week. I'm sooo running away.
