I think a church would love those ! :) fab idea

I hear you, I hear you :giggle:

I have no shame, I am an ungrateful cow when it comes to presents (shocker!)

My problem is this... "It's the thought that counts" yes exactly, think then !

People who know me should know that my perfect present would be nothing! All my family respect this and I say thanks! I seriously really want to spend time with them , we all make an effort, it's fab! Then I get presents from people who ignore my wishes.....

Dairy Chocolate, even though I don't eat it! Makes me ill

Cheap jewellery, nickel allergy I keep saying it! Turns my skin green and gives me a rash

Cheap cosmetics, get allergic reaction hence why I beg people not to buy it

Clothes! I am either naked or in my gym stuff so no point

Old lady bags, gloves, shoes ect. I AM NOT OLD

For the last two years FIL has got me a jml blanket with feet , see above! Just why ?

I'm not even sorry , I tell people every year, no please don't I have a house full of stuff, no room and constantly going to charity shop. Please just donate to charity this would be very thoughtful and I would be happy and grateful!

Oops sorry for rant !

Do you buy other people stuff @littlesez? I would love to do a present ban and a massive scale down on the kids stuff. Most of our family have enough money to buy everything the need and a bit of what they want, so every year we rack our brains on what the hell to buy them?! Seems soo pointless! I hate it, and get so miserable with the whole meaningless gift exchange. It all goes straight to the charity shop.

We are jam packed in our house. One day I'll have a minimalist haven :-)

Nope! No pressies ever, not at all sorry, everyone knows the score ;)

I do little things here and there year round. For example. My neighbour was struggling with breastfeeding so I made her some nipple balm. My mum got upset about her arthritis last year, she said her hands always felt awful and cold, made her some gloves. Izzys aunty told me she wishes she was on Facebook as she misses all the pics, photo album and keyring made :)

It's just the way I am! Never get Rob anything wr just make an effort to have a date :D
