For my boys, 5 and 9, 2 years ago, I gave them the gift of time.\n\nI bought them each a calendar and wrapped it up with several computer printed stickers: a tent, a fish, an airplane, cookies, popcorn etc, a small empty photo album and a note saying to spread the joy of christmas all year long they would need to work together schedule their other gifts throughout the year.  Then they opened a lot of little gifts: \n\na package of colored paper with laminated computer printed coupons that had an airplane and read a paper airplane contest with dad, \n\na cookbook and coupons for cooking lessons with mom, \n\nfishing lure and coupons for family fishing trips\n\n3 bags of microwave popcorn and coupons to get to be the one to pick a family movie rental\n\nsleeping bag and coupons for brother's camp outs in the livingroom\n\nThey were told to keep all the coupons in their photo album until they were ready to redeem them and to work together to put the stickers on their calendars so they could make the fun last longer \n\nThis was an extremely cheap gift, but with everything wrapped individually it really filled out christmas morning, the boys couldn't wait to see what adventure came next.  I don't think people always realize what a little family time means to a kid.\n\nWe really don't remember what else they got that year, lots of overpriced toys most of which broke within 2 weeks I'm sure, but I guarantee you long after the batteries for those things were dead they were still redeeming their coupons and smiling ear to ear!!

Once my sister and I had just got new cell phones from england  as a christmas gift which we weren't suppose to see but my mom had taken them to the house to gift wrap them and I found them. I took them out and noticed that mine had no sim card and took out her's and put it in my ceel phone and used all the minutes even when we had gotten our gifts I pretended that it was mine and continued using it  and up to this day she doesn't know that it was her's and the saddest part was that I had two sim cards and she had none and I had lent her one but the I took it back andshe ended up with none I was so mean.

Can you please explain what an illegal gifting program is and how you can be scammed by them?

You know you seem to have based your idea of a good Christmas on what you received.... What did you give?\n I received three very thoughtful gifts and spent the day with my two oldest granddaughters,husband, daughter and son in law and could not have been a better day.

My mother used to do that to me all the time.  My gifts were never good enough, and every holiday I tried harder.  One day I realized I was spending a ridiculous amount of time and a really unreasonable amount of money trying to please someone who could not be pleased.  So I told her how I felt and that I was not doing it anymore AND I STICK TO IT.  Now I give her a small gift or a photo of myself for holidays, with a message telling her how much I love her and how much I appreciate having her in my life.  And I never let myself get manipulated into trying to "earn" her approval anymore, because she cannot appreciate a $250 blown-glass, one-of-a-kind, personalized glass ornament from England that I carried on my lap during a 36-hour flight any more than a $7 frame and picture ... but I sure feel less frustrated now that I did not put so much of myself into it!

This is kind of cheesy, but about three years ago, my fiance gave me this hideously ugly stuffed penguin that he won for me at on the boardwalk. It was missing one eye, there was a huge hole in the back, it was filled with that stuffing that feels more like cement than fluff.  Just one awful looking penguin. At the time, I just plastered on one huge fake smile and said, "Oh, thanks," like I was in love with the thing. \n\nMy fiance was killed by a drunk driver about six months later. Now, whenever someone sees the penguin (which is on my bed) and tell me how ugly it is - I get really angry. It's not their fault - the thing *is* ugly, but it is far too meaningful to me. Now, I absolutely can't imagine my life without it.

Perfume that smelt like cat wee, I once got some plasters but the one to top it all off, was when I received a "gold" chain from my father and his girlfriend (it was vile and I don't wear gold, it wouldn't even have been worth anything if I'd've cashed it in) whilst my brother sat there and unwrapped a games console complete with 4 games...

Oh gosh, I know this may seem awful (and believe me...I was going to kill him at the time). It was 2 years ago and my boy friend and I were exchanging gifts on our 2 year anniversary. I got him a nice watch and he handed me a box and some jewelry cleaner. Of course I got all excited and giddy because I knew there was an engagement ring in the box. I opened it and guess what...a 25 cent ring from a gumball machine was in there. I was sooooooo pissed! I said that's it? And he said "YEP!" Then I said, "this is not an engagement ring?" and he said "I'm not ready to get married yet!" I was so mad I was about to cry. He let me think like this for about 2 hours and then he saw me cry. He said "I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE!!! KELLY OPEN UP THE JEWELRY CLEANER!!" I did and there was the real ring. He then got down on one knee and said "I was trying to be romantic but I screwed things up, I love you and I am sorry, will you marry me?" I wanted to kill him then but now I laugh at it. We are getting married in May! :)

I think you should be greatful that you have a friend that gives gifts at all.  As corny as it may sound, give in to the spirit of giving and not receiving and you'll be much happier.

A present, you never know what you will open from one day to the next....It's just too bad that we cannot "return for refunds" the bad days!

First gift I ever received from my hubby made me cry.  When we were on a date, I had lost an earring that my grandmother had given me.  He found that exact pair and gave them to me that Christmas.  He really was a sweetie back then . . .
