Well, I wouldn't consider myself selfish. I was more trying to post a thread that would make everyone get a good laugh and share their funny christmas gift stories. Relax, have a laugh and a happy new year!

I have gotten gifts I dont like before, but I really just try and be happy that someone gave me anything and thought of me at all. If it is a gift that is nice but I wouldnt personally use, I will put it away to be "re-gifted" if I think it would be appropriate for someone I know... Many times I will offer it to someone I know can use it, tell them the truth... that it was a gift however, I cannot use it and thought they might like it... otherwise I will try and donate it if possible.

Although it is annoying when you put a lot of thought into someones gift and they give you something that was obviously thoughtless (like a photo of themselves! seriously?)

Last year my dtr gave a pic of herself and the person she was giving it to with a frame that a message on it. For example the one for my mom said I love my grandma. Everyone loved it, but no way was she going to do that again this year.

Next time you can just tell people what you want so they don't make they don't waste your time.

What's wrong with this? This is a great gift! How old is she?

My family would love it if I gave a photo of myself. Aside from time together, that's about the next most valuable to them. Also one I won't give them. (the photo that is)

I love every gift I get, just to think someone thought of me makes it pretty special, however, it is really sad when they have taken the time to shop and pick out something they think you will like and its the wrong size. Every year before I shop for clothes I phone and ask the sizes, just in case something has changed. My sister in law, who has wonderful taste picked me out a pants outfit 2 sizes larger than I wear (ouch) shes pretty good at the size guessing game!!! But also purchased a necklace and earings from a craft show. I commited on the size to my husband and he stated well I know a pretty good seemstress, as I can sew some I guess I'll have to alter it. She also knows I', petite and its about 5 inches to long and I HATE to hem. Oh well, its the thought that counts. But my point is if its the wrong size after Christmas the chance of getting the same thing is pretty slim. I'd rather be sure. my best present this year-my daughter crocheted me a toboggen and scarf set!!!! beautiful

joeys mom · 12-27-2009, 06:48 PM

This post is from Joey, my worst present this year was from my human sister, she and her new husband got me a snuggy, in PINK!!!!!!!!!! Oh well it's Ok because real males can wear PINK!!!! Right!!!! Think I'll put in a pink hairbow to match to wear to their New Years Eve party!!! Teach them... ha ha

joeys mom · 12-27-2009, 06:54 PM

The best present my husband received was from Joey's human sister, Yeah, the same one that got the pink snuggy, was a photo of his parents. She took a photo from several years ago and enlarged it to an 8X10 and framed it. We lost his dad 2 yrs ago and his mother 13 months ago. It really touched him that she would think of doing this for him. Great gift.

That really IS a thoughtful gift ! Very special -

I had to laugh about the pink snuggy - do you know there's a group of people that actually get together and club hop all wearing snuggies ? They call it the 'Snuggy Pub Crawl'

maybe Joey can join them

I dont think she even looked at the sizes. My brother & sister-in-law brought us both books which neither of us will read as its something were not really intrested in. Fortunately we got great gifts from everyone else.

My mother gets me really nice clothes for Christmas, a few pieces, but I swear she NEVER gets the size right. My whole life she has always viewed me as heavier than I am. She got me one sweater in an XL but a Large would have worked and another sweater in a Large when a Medium would have fit better! LOL I'm not offended or upset or anything, I just wish she would see that I'm not as heavy as she seems to think all the time!
