Yeah, every time she looks at she is reminded what cheap xxxxxxxx they are!I’ve received gifts like that. From my daughter-in-law for Christmas, from the Goodwill (most likely): a set of three candles, complete with dings and dust! I know she gave the 4 year old a dollar or two and told her to pick out something for Grammy. My daughter got gold plastic fruit. (a banana, pear and ?) Clueless people are clueless.
Right…. give them something they hate, so that every time they look at it, they’ll remember how much they dislike you.
That is, until they donate it to the Goodwill….Where Joy will find it, buy it, and give it to the same people….
“Look, I found one of these to go with your other one!”
Years ago, someone I actually like, but she’s clueless about presents, gave me a sweater….short and boxy, with unflattering 3/4 sleeves, horizontally striped, in light, neutral colors, when I wear black or deep jewel tones…
As I opened the box, and pulled it out, trying to hide my dismay, she said, with a pleased smile… “I got it because I never see you wear anything like that!”
I think a salt & pepper lazy Susan would be nice. Who wants to reach past a pepper shaker to get the salt shaker. Now Sue can spin it around for everyone’s convenience..Burl’s sweatshirt is so tasteless. But so true for him especially, because a taste is a lot on his plate.
Wow The Penny’s demand that their circle of friend need to decorate down to their tacky standards. This shop reminds me of when my sister and family came out to calif and wanted to San Francisco. They managed to do the tour of a ww2 sub for 30 minutes. Did she want to check out pier 39 no ! fisherman’s wharf no ! china town ride the trolley no ! she spent the whole day in tacky souvenir shops buying cheap shirts and plastic knick knack. And we ate at a McD because they couldn’t decide on a restaurant.Then she complains about not seeing anything.I reminded her who fault that was and why. Things got frosty on the trip home

She seemed to think that was a good idea.

I’d be thinking of them every time I saw it, that’s for sure. But it would be only once, that’s for sure, too. Circular file, pronto.

I think the old adage “it’s the thought that counts” fits very well here. Such hollow minds!

If they want a gift that reminds her of them, they should give her an industrial sized can of Crisco….
