[quote=Anonymous]I used to get sucked into this with relatives who are not nice people and tend to be manipulative. In my case the nice ones might ask once and then they just followed what i said or understood we really do value your company and there is NO GIFT needed. With the manipulative ones I just insisted no gifts. I might engage in the back and forth once and give suggestions and then I stopped. I filed the email away in separate folder. Always, always they did whatever they wanted so there was no point. These were the same ones where no thank you is enough so if a verbal thank you or note was not enough and they needed detained descriptions of why it was amazing and photos of kids with gifts, I also stopped responding and stopped feeling guilty. Life is too short and a gift is not supposed to be a string that is annoys you.[/quote]
