[quote=Anonymous]My paternal grandparents rarely gave gifts. When they did, it was always something they already owned. My siblings and I considered them 'treasures'. On one occasion (not even a birthday/holiday, just a regular day), I got a beautiful tea cup and saucer. Another time, I got a piece of furniture that had been my great grandfather's and had been refinished by my grandmother. For my college graduation, I got an antique vase (Princess Louise). My siblings and I never thought this was weird. My grandparents obviously loved us very much. I think this habit developed over hard times and with the understanding that gifts don't have to purchased or new to be meaningful. As I look back on it now, I think it was wonderful.[/quote]
