Holiday Monogram

Should I be offended…..?

My wealthy in-laws always get me “TJ Maxx” clothes in the wrong size and cheap housewares for Christmas. My sister-in-law, their daughter, always regifts me her employer’s Holiday gift, as evidenced by the company name on the items (My brother works for the same company, and he has received the same items). I always buy them something nice; this year monogrammed fleece robes from LLBean wrapped in LLBean totebags with their names personalizing the bags. I know it should be the thought that counts, but I can’t help thinking they are lacking in good thoughts about me.

as for the mother and father in-law, it sounds like maybe they just dont know what you like. i know from my own experience, if you don’t really have some dead-set ideas on things that you know someone will like, its hard to spend a lot of money on a gamble, so maybe that’s the case. clothing is never a good idea to give as a gift, people should know this by now!

the sister in-law regifting the company gifts branded with the name/logo, THAT is one of the tackiest things i’ve ever heard of. how old is she, 8??? she should know better! next year you should regift her the cheap clothes the mother got you this year.

yes it IS the thought that counts. that’s why when someone just uses you as a “thrift shop” for all their unwanted things, it really hurts. i understand that you don’t care about getting nice things from them, you just don’t want to feel like a trivial part of the family. she might as well have just said, “Here, YOU throw it away. Merry Christmas!”. it would have been much better not to have been given anything at all

how to resolve the situation isn’t an easy thing to tell. just grin and bare the gifts next season. if you don’t like them you can sell them on ebay or donate them. simplify your gift giving to them as well, it will be a passive way of showing that their projected feelings towards you have lessenned your motivation to please them with the material things you give. it may make them stop and think, who knows
