Thanks, but I don't like that.

I'm actually really good at gift giving. I listen really well & usually have something picked out way ahead of time. If I can't think of something they would really like or don't know them very well I give them cash or a gift card. gift receipts are a must.

My husband is the worst person to try & give gifts to. If he wants something he just buys it & he's very picky. So now I just give up, I can't stand the disappointment when he doesn't like something i give him. So he either flat out tells me what to get or I let him go buy it himself & tell him that's your birthday/christmas/whatever present. It's easier on me this way.

My story. My aunt & uncle don't have kids & don't particular like kids, but every christmas they would send all us neices & nephews a sweater for christmas. Some years you hated the sweater some years you liked it, but it was the thought. Well the christmas I was about 10 they sent sweaters out like always (I actually liked mine) my stupid cousin send her sweater back. The year after that we got certificates saying so much money was donated to something in our name & then the years after those we got squat. If that wasn't bad enough the same aunt & uncle started giving $50 to J.Crew for high school graduation. This same cousin said she couldn't find anything she liked & send the gift certificate back (geez). She was older than me so I was like oh great I'm not getting anything, but they send me a gift certificate to Barnes & Nobles so I liked that.
