I don't understand. If the daughter is a kid/teen, she can do a drawing or something. A gift from a kid doesn't have to be something costing actual money, especially not if the parents are separated.My Poor Partner... recieved the exact same Barber Club Gift set from his Ex/Stepdaughter as he did last year. I could tell he was a bit miffed, but didn't want to say so in front of his daughter as its not her fault.
Her Mum just puts no effort into his presents, but has no qualms in requestingperfumee/PJs and whatever else from him when he puts put the feelers... next year I don't think he's going to bother and just get her a Lynx/B&H Gift Set!
Also to add his Birthday is January and last year he got the same aftershave that her current boyfriend wears! 🫠
I got my dad a gargoyle this year! He loved it
One of my kids is diabetic and she's been given Selection Boxes by 3 different people 
My mum once got me and my sister mens aftershave thinking it was woman’s perfume. Obviously didn’t smell it or read the box just must’ve picked it up and bought it
I got a set of lipglosses, 30 of them ! I’m at a loss to know what to do with them all.
I also got one of those wheat bags that you heat up in a microwave, I don’t have a microwave
Other than that, I got books, smellies, money and other decent stuff

Women's shelters take unused make up or you could sell it on vinted.
As far as I know since covid shelters and charities are not accepting used products. Even if it’s lightly used.
Again not trying to make it a personal attack on you at all but in the scenario you described I feel like I wouldn't like to receive stuff you've sewn/knitted and then be handed a list of things to buy for you... so I can imagine I wouldn't be able to resist the sarky comments when handing the gifts over either
Ah Ok, I've either not written my post clearly or you've interpreted it differently. Also I think making someone custom clothing that takes a few weeks is much more thoughtful than asking for what someone wants and just buying thatAgain not trying to make it a personal attack on you at all but in the scenario you described I feel like I wouldn't like to receive stuff you've sewn/knitted and then be handed a list of things to buy for you... so I can imagine I wouldn't be able to resist the sarky comments when handing the gifts over either
I guess it depends on the person. I hate receiving things people made themselves. I’d rather get nothing. Extra painful if a childs made it because you have to ooh and aah over something that looks like a lump of coalAh Ok, I've either not written my post clearly or you've interpreted it differently.

Absolutely agree! Tho I find it less awkward when it's from a child
What I love about this thread is it's really interesting to see how differently the same things can be received ! (Feel like that sounds sarcastic but it isn't)
For example one person might say oh I got £20 in a card , so thoughtless , would have rathered a token gift like socks
Next person is like ugh got socks, so boring..would rather the money in a card
And then the difference between people who want to be asked what they want and receive just that, to people that loathe being asked what they want and feel this defeats the point !
I just find it so interesting!
So I thought being gifted a battery organiser & torch for Christmas was bad enough.
I’ve been gifted a positive covid test!
brilliant!!
2nd time having it & it’s definitely worse this time round.

Just popping in here to say…..hand sanitiser 
Another two bottles of Prosecco/champagne from my in-laws who know I’m not a drinker. I’d rather get a pair of socks tbh I’d get more use out of them.
I top all of these. My mother in law strikes again..she got me a carrier bag from poundland for Christmas. Said she thought I would like it as it has dog pattern on it!!!!!! We had them here for 5 days, fed, watered etc. Bragged all Christmas about how much is in her bank account. The mind boggles!!!!
Three pairs of socks from an aunt...the ones with separated toes where each toe is a different colour.
Luckily there's a TRAID shop near my work.

Didn't realise they still make these things. I really wanted them as a child, got them, and realised they're the most uncomfortable thing ever
You win!
That’s terrible
Just remembered this little…whatever it’s supposed to be from my auntie. I assume it’s supposed to be filled with sweets or something for kids. However this came in a gift bag, empty, on its own. Usually she gets me regifted pyjamas that don’t fit, but not this year. This year just this weird empty pouch
