What Would You Do....? / myLot

You buy a family member a nice gift for Christmas. They open it and they say something sarcastic like, "oh, just what we need, more knick-knacks to dust", or something like that. Then, six months later they invite you over to their yard sale and guess what you see on a table in their front yard with a price tag on it? Yup. That happened to me two Christmases ago and I got spoutin' mad over it.

So, the next year I gave them a houseplant that I grew myself...totally free gift so I didn't waste money on them. Now Christmas approaches stealthily again. This year....Ugh. Not sure what to do. What would YOU all do in a case like this? Give a gift or not give a gift?

Right now I'm leanin' more toward the NOT side of the equation. Bwa-hahahaaaaaa!

I think cake or any food they really crave for is an ideal gift for Christmas because I am sure they are going to like it.

There you go. That sounds like an ideal gift...except that the husband is a very fussy eater...Hmm. I would have to find out what kind of stuff he likes, I guess.

Gift cards. To coffee shops. Nothing nice. Maybe the Fruit of the Month club.
