[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s sweet that they remembered you on their vacation and bothered to bring back something for you. A small perishable is totally the way to go. Do you really want them to bring back some tacky art glass vase or ocean-themed painting you’d feel bad getting rid of bc it was $500 or whatever? Every single time? It sounds like you’re hoping that getting them nicer presents will sort of force them to get you something nicer in return. That is burdensome and honestly kind of goes against the spirit of gift-giving. I’m with you on the idea that there should be reciprocation, but since they obviously won’t, you need to accept it and scale down your own spending. Challenge yourself to find something that you know they’ll like the next holiday, and is still you and thoughtful, but limit your budget to $30 or so. [/quote]
