I asked because there are things to change and things to leave alone. No one should be perfect, nor can they be. By 15 my parents and I were on nods-when-you-get-home-from-work terms, so I doubt it was much of an event. A pretty good guess, actually, is that they paid the fee so I could play spring baseball in a league with my friends. I think that was my de rigueur present for a long time. It's partially my fault; I never asked them for anything and never spent any time at my house so they didn't have many clues to go on. If you have all the material possessions you need, ask them to take you somewhere. Like a little road trip. Or tickets to something, for you and them, you and friends, you by yourself, whatever. Put some thought into it and they'll be happy because they'll know they're getting you something you care about enough to reflect on.
