Spot on. After my Nephews and Nieces turned 18 I stopped buying presents unless it’s a big birthday. They’re adults with jobs so I don’t see the point anymore.I dunno if this is mean of me but it irks me that I asked my SIL what she wants for Xmas and she said ‘money’...
Well so do Ibut I was brought up not to ask for it so I end up with random stuff which is very thoughtful / kind but maybe if everyone were honest enough to say they need the money this whole present buying thing (for adults) could stop and we’d all spare ourselves?!
I am glad you started this thread. We all need that outlet for the ghastly presents we have received.So I want to say upfront that I know that this has been a very challenging/rubbish/upsetting etc. year for everyone and that we should always be grateful for presents people have bought us... However, hoping this thread can be a safe place to have a moan about presents we have received that are a little disappointing: perhaps they missed the mark, perhaps they were totally useless, or thoughtless, or were given for a dig or were clearly regifted etc.
I get an Impulse set every year from my partners mum. Haven’t used the stuff since I was a teenagerI have posted many times on tattle about my HATRED for dove sets. I hate them. They're boring. They're a clear indication of "I dont know you at all but I had to get you a gift". I just detest them so much. Also i am allergic to nuts. This is all pertinent information.
Now, my brother in law... who I have known for over 5 years. Last year got me a FUCKING PISTACHIO DOVE SET!! I wanted to throw it at him!!!

SameI'll wait and see what my MIL has bought me before contributing properly to this thread.
She has dreadful taste but still insists on asking if I liked it. She also knows full well I tend to be blunt about these things ...
