These people should all go in a room and have an angsty cirlce jerk while I greatfully enjoy all their presents....any gesture makes me smile..even 25 cent machine rings and bouncy balls... Dec 16 05 08:57 am Link It's ALWAYS the thought that counts.... plus, if I want something...I'll get it...he knows better...  Dec 16 05 08:33 pm Link I think I am in the minority here. But I would never ever ever return a gift. No matter how hideous it is. Dec 16 05 08:35 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Me either...however...I do recycle!

Dec 16 05 09:10 pm Link i got a box of chocolate covered cherry cordials and some airplane magazine once from a gal i had started dating...i looked at them and asked her if she meant to give them to her nephew. Dec 16 05 09:53 pm Link Ok, so it's my birthday, and from a guy I have been dating for a year and a half I just recieved: A box of crayons and pretty phone backings. LoL. Oy. Dec 17 05 01:47 am Link At leasy mine figured that it's better to ask me before he buys it. So now I'm getting a pistol, a fiddle and some amber  Dec 17 05 01:48 am Link Nemi wrote: The crayons are probably going to be used by you, Im sure. Last year, a friend of mine gave me a digital memory card for my camera.....I shoot film....but didnt have the heart to tell her. Dec 17 05 01:50 am Link R.

Dec 17 05 07:07 am Link When I was 13 my aunt and uncle gave me a Winnie The Poo video. Before I could stop myself, in front of the whole family I groaned and rolled my eyes. But seriously..that was a STUPID gift to give to a 13yr old! BTW, I don't get presents from them anymore. LOL Dec 17 05 04:47 pm Link I got smart a few years ago.... my best friend and I take a day, do lunch and go shopping for each other's gift. Makes it one heck of alot easier when he looks at something, thinks about it for awhile and then puts it down. Granted it takes out the element of surprise but it is time we get to spend together doing something fun for the other person. That and I know it won't be returned! HAHA As for bad gifts..... I just don't have the heart to tell somebody if I don't like what they got me. And I'm too guility to give it to someone else or return it so I end up with gifts that I've left unused until I realize that I deperately need the closet space and finally part with it.

(then It was hard to maintain the cheerful appearance when you get that sweater - and not keys to a Vette) I also reseach Civil War history - (Ubergeek stuff - "what was Co. D of the 83rd NY infantry armed with in 1863" sort of things) Friends and family know "he is interested in the Civil War" THEN - you get the box with a tie, with a picture of Robert E Lee printed on it - or a "Dukes of Hazzard Keychain" "it's the thought that counts ..... Its the thought that counts . . . " Dec 17 05 11:20 pm Link Craig Thomson wrote: I'm still working on wrapping a full body ... Dec 18 05 01:24 am Link |
