[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to add something here that is taboo to say. For some people gift giving is a way to be a jerk. popular culture talks about narcissistic love bombing-giving lots of gifts to manipulate. There's also passive aggression. My mother loved to give noisy toys to the kids of relatives or neighbors she hated and would brag about it. One of my sisters (the wealthy one) loves giving junk from dollar store and when the rest of implemented a no gift policy she doubled the amount of junk and then would get all upset we didn't have the kids write thank you notes. She is also the person who will mock the wedding and baby registries of relatives and pull out one the vases she got a TJ Maxx on clearance to give and then complain the thank you note wasn't effusive enough.[/quote]
