let's face it, we nerdy types are not setting any sort of benchmarks in cleanliness. Walking into our rooms will quickly give our guests a sense that they have stumbled across some sort of war exhibit in a museum. It's not that we don't care about upkeep or are fearless in the face of germs, its just one of those things that falls to the back of our minds since there are so many more pressing matters at hand, like having that "Dr. Who".
This year, if you are looking for one of those gifts that's more for you than it is for your friend, then by all means feel free to hire a cleaning person to come around and tidy up that pig pen that they claim used to be a room. Sure, they'll fuss and moan, but in the end it will be beneficial to both parties. Nothing says, "I'm ready to paint my miniatures" quite like a spotless room with plenty of elbow room to move around in. If all else fails, you can get them nothing and force them to do their own dirty work.
Is this a hint for me to hire someone to come and clean your apartment? :-P
