Seems to me (though not quite what you mean) when I was young (I mean under 10) one of my aunts kept getting me sweaters....wool ones at that....so not only did they have bad patterns on them....they were wool so I couldn't even dream of wearing it. I sent a thankyou but got snippy saying 'no more sweaters, I can't wear wool' LOL *hangs head in shame* hey it ended it!...last year she got me some shirts....that would have fit a 10 year old....I got a huge kick out of it 'she expects me to get into these HOW??'...LOL |

yep. I got a plastic black bear in a wooden crate one year. On the side it said "Great Smokey Mountains" on it. On the bottom there was still the price tag. $2.99 This was from a very close relative. The same relative gave my brothers nice leather wallets with $50 in each one plus some pictures inside as well. And to make it worse they were seven years younger than me and I was the one who helped them out and did the "chores" such as firewood and stuff. That was just one of several that I can think of. |

The girl I call my sister (shes not my sister) gave me the same birthday card twice (there was a year between them) we both thought it was hilarious... she did it without realizing it. It was a funny card, I still have both. |

A gift is a symbol from the heart, regardless of the worth or value, I could care less. To be thought of is more than enough. I have a curio filled with gifts from my grandbabies. They are mostly hand made and are priceless. |

Yes Brenda, that is basically what I had also tried to point out. Yes, it is nice to be thought of but no not all gifts are from the heart at all. |

i have to write down everything i buy and who i give it to so i won't do that!! the one gift i give every year is homeade fudge. the guys in my family get a little hyped up if they don't get their fudge!! one year i was sick for a while before Christmas and i didn't feel like making it and i gave them cookie tins. i got dirty looks and smart mouth remarks!!! i was informed that i could wait til i feel better and make it even if it's after Christmas!! |

No, this hasn't happened to me, but I have got the same Christmas cards two years in a row from the same person. My kids got two of those "Jenga" games one Christmas. |
