Choc, Do you mean she never gets you anything from her, only gifts "from the kids"?
How cold! That would really bother me and I am not a Gifts person by any stretch.
Although H did get me a waffle maker and a crockpot for Christmas, after promising me that he would get me something from Vic's Secret. I eagerly tore open the wrapping paper and when I saw the words Hamilton Beach, I thought I'd blow a gasket!
I do use the waffle maker and crockpot quite a bit but STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL................
