[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave my kids money (when they were 6&7) so they could pick out something for me on their own.  They got me a sweater for the dog and an enormous container of cheese puffs.  I appreciated it even though they were gifts for me that were really gifts for them (and the dog).

If you want DH to lead them to something better then tell him exactly what you want and have him work it so it looks like it's from the kids.  Or tell them you want nothing but a homemade card from them.  [/quote]

I really don't understand why such obviously self-serving gifts should be so much appreciated. Perhaps they should get a set of new tires and pack of paper towels for their Christmas. Hey, it's the thought that counts![/quote]

Because they tried and I appreciated their efforts.  I love the dog and cheese puffs so while their gifts weren't just for me their hearts were in the right place.

How were their hearts in the right place if they essentially bought stuff for themselves? It's not like they were 3 or even 4. [/quote]

They actually may have been 5 and 6.  It was the first time it was all up to them and they thought they were buying something I'd appreciate.

It actually makes for a funny story now that they are older and would buy something I'd like.[/quote]
