[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bottom line is the teacher feels belittled and totally unappreciated by receiving a mug or a candle. Would you gift these to anyone else? [/quote] I don’t feel belittle and unappreciated, I just don’t want you to spend your money on something I will discard or donate. If you buy me a $25 mug, I will still get rid of it. When I was much younger, my mom would buy $50-100 of clothing for me at various discount clothing stores. I didn’t care about the $5 gift tag, I just had a radically different sense of style. She refused to understand that I like clean lines and neutrals. So one year, she bought a single $100 garment in the same frou-frou style. She thought I’d love it because it was “expensive”. She was so disappointed that I wasn’t thrilled. I got some really great presents today, including a candy bar that probably cost $1. No mugs. I do like candles in jars. [/quote]
