There's honestly nothing I need nor want. Besides some extra cash from extended family members so that I can pay for college and take more burden off of my parents. I pay for it as much as I can now which covers tuition but that leaves my parents with my book bill. I rent so it's not overly expensive but I still don't like leaving them with that tab, especially since they're letting me live here for free (and I've offered to pay rent) since I'm starting at community college.
It's not that a game, gift card to store or clothes (and I could always use more since I basically wear the same thing every week) aren't appreciated. But that's stuff I can buy on the side when I have the extra cash. A giftcard might be as good as money at the store or website it's for but I can't exactly hand that in to the business office and go "Ok I'll see you in a few weeks with my next installment".
