[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most thoughtful:
My Grandma was very poor and on a limited fixed income. There were 8 grandchildren, all girls, and every year at Christmas she would give us each a few samples of perfume (you used to be able to get these little plastic vials at the "fancy" department stores back in the day)

She would collect and save them up all year from her trips into the city. We would all "ooh and ahh", compare scents, thankfully all truly grateful for such a sweet gift from my little gram.

Least thoughtful? The year my inlaws decided they were done doing gifts due to the expense and sent us 6 cookies. Probably cost more to send than to buy something. Sent the other 6 to my BIL. They were (are) mad we moved away from the (dying, no jobs, crime ridden) place we grew up and have to travel to see us. This was their big protest.[/quote]

I love the perfume. It's fun, useful, and a bit of a surprise to see which you get.

Proof that thoughtful gifts don't have to cost a fortune.[/quote]
