Trying to buy everyone’s Christmas gifts but in the end I feel shortchanged?
So, I really spend time planning what everyone wants for Christmas. Then when Christmas comes my husband’s family gives me really crappy gifts. It makes me want to just give everybody a gift cards and forget it. What would you do?

Give them gift cards and forget it. I had the same experience. My in laws gave my kids socks and gag gifts while I was buying their kids footballs and video games. Not any more and guess what, no one even noticed or cared or if they did, they didn’t say anything.

I feel you! I have been planning my gifts and even purchasing gifts since before Halloween so if I get a crappy gift I’d be mad! I’d do exactly what I did this year keep the gifts less than a certain amount but still nice. I got Victoria Secret purfume (before black friday…they probably don’t have anymore now) for ten bucks! They’re shaped like little ornaments and are the good fragrances like Noir and Dream Angels…$10 a piece! I wont feel bad and they’ll be okay to buy me whatever!

I used to feel the same way because i would spend a lot of time and money getting every one the perfect gifts customized to them, however i don’t get the same in return.
Now i get every 1 the same thing, and call it a day. This year everyone’s getting footed pajamas and if they don’t like it than they can have the substitute gift that lies between my ring and my index fingers!
