Idk what to put on my wish list. I’ve always been the giving type of person so making a list to possibly receive something from is difficult for me does anyone else have that problem?
I struggled too but I tried to think about how hard it would be for someone if I gave them no direction. I just picked a few things at different price points, some reef related, some not.
