[quote=Anonymous]Nothing you can do about the no "thank you". If you want to continue giving out of the goodness of your heart, you should. If she is resisting books because of space, ask her if there's anything they want or need. While gift receivers should be grateful for anything they get, the fact is parents have preferences based on space or types of toys. See what would be most appreciated so you don't feel like you're wasting your time or money. If she just doesn't want more "stuff" what about experience gifts, like a sleepover or an ice cream outing. My sister has very limited space and I have limited funds - these kind of outings suit both out needs and the kids are thrilled with the time with me and our special outings. Win-win. Again, she SHOULD be gracious about anything, but when giving gifts you also have to keep in mind the preferences of the receiver.[/quote]
