[quote=Anonymous]Here’s my petty. We’ve been no-gift with my mom for several years, but mom now lives nearby and decided “Lets do small gifts this year! — I guess to make it feel “festive.”  But really she has no idea what to get us and has limited means. I couldn’t tell here what I really like because that would be “too fancy” and expensive. (I can hear it: “Twenty-five dollars for one pair of socks?!” A la SmartWool, etc. “You pay how much for a mascara?!?”)  So we got random things from TJMaxx that just missed the mark and probably collectively ended up costing more:  “designer” sock three pack, packaged lotion/candle set, two weird trivia games, a T-shirt for my husband. — and one book that I did explicitly ask for,. Sigh. Going to insist we go no-gift again next year. Also disappointed that DD, who has no problem telling me every pricey thing she’d like for Christmas or birthday only managed some charcuterie for me and her father.  Really, the only person who is going to gift me right is me lol — which is exactly what I’m going to do. [/quote]
