Do you mind gifts from Costco?

[Anonymous]

I would never openly express lack of gratitude for any gift from a family member. It's nice they thought of me.

Privately I judge lots of the gifts people give me because I don't personally appreciate lots of junk around my house and I don't like having to deal with stuff I'm not going to use or consume. I give a lot of gifts away to colleagues or charity. My immediate family knows not to just go buy me random stuff, knows that I will be most appreciative of thoughtful, good quality gifts, and that barring that I would honestly rather get a nice card, a pleasant visit, or dinner out.

But other people don't know me as well and I know they are trying to be thoughtful and polite. Also they may have limited funds or simply have no idea what to get. If they give me some chocolate from Costco, I'm not going to complain about it and I don't hold it against them. Even if I will quietly get rid of it later.

Yes, no Costco gifts, but especially if it’s food. I’d rather a small box of high quality chocolates, that a giant box of Costco junky ones

I think those chocolate gifts, if you're talking about the chocolate gift packs, are just way too impersonal to give your mom. That's probably her issue. It's an innocuous gift you would expect from someone at work who you barely know or a gift you give to a client.

I think it’s better than random Amazon stuff. I keep receiving gifts from random no name Chinese sellers on Amazon. Kept at first, now I will just donate right away.

The Ninja Creami and the shark hair tool from Costco were my teen daughters' favorite gifts this Christmas.

And if anything goes wrong with them we can take advantage of their kick-ass return policy!

So ungrateful. I don’t mind them. Chocolate is chocolate

I don't judge people, who knows what their gift budget is. If I'm so bourgeois to eat Costco chocolate, I should order some luxury gourmet chocolate for myself.
