She would say long after she placed every single one of his gifts into a donation box.
It’s not that his gifts were cheap (although if you ask me, they were that as well as thoughtless ) but his gifts always seemed like he ran to a market on Christmas Eve just before it closed because he suddenly remembered he had a girlfriend.
Did my sister really need a polka dot dress that was two sizes too small or plastic eggs that wobbled precariously when you placed it down on a hard surface; that was supposed to be a feel good, laugh out momento for her car’s dashboard.
You get the picture! Needless to say the relationship belly upped at year 7.
Now I’m already hearing the empaths.
“Awwww it's the thought that count?”
“Your sister has to learn to receive things with grace and humour”
Ok. Ok. But come on, try facing bobbing eggs on your dashboard as someone’s sign of love for you. Thumbs up if my sister was 12!
I asked my friend, Sheena Thorpe, purveyor of gifts at her specialty store The Gallery what do you give someone you love? She says what you give matters, and that a gift should be thoughtful, considered
"It should be something that the receiver will really remember you by. It does not have to be expensive, it has to show you care."
That’s why you’ll love our Holiday Gift Guide complete with some pretty unique gift ideas for all price points. You can share this list with your partner if you feel that he still misses your Christmas love language or let’s face it, you can share it if you feel he is completely clueless, even after all the years.
