I have a wish list on Amazon and post about the things I am interested in on Facebook all the time, and yet I have family members who claim that they have no idea what I am into or what to get me ... even though I put it in their face nearly every day of the year.

Those same individuals seem to have the same problem buying gifts for others as well ... and most of them are more self-focused than other-focused, having what I'll call a "weaker empathy gene." So I think it just goes with that territory (in their cases - I'm not speaking about anyone here.)
