Worst gift: One year
my MIL/FIL bestowed many gifts on my DS and DH. We are talking
thousands of dollars. I received a card. I know that it is not
the amount spent, it is the thought that counts. But in our family
we do the "round about" gift opening. One person passes
out a gift to each person in the room, then we go around the room
and each person opens the gift individually, while the others look
on. Imagine this going on for several hours, and after the first
round I am not included. Fortunately, my DH is very generous to
me at our own "at home" gift exchange. He buys me jewelry
- the NICE stuff, and it eats his mother up. I come to her house
and sport it during the gift exchange. I guess things even out.

Worst gift: We have
NEVER forgotten my ILs on birthdays, anniversaries, or other holidays,
except for one year when they asked us NOT to send them gifts for
Christmas because they were too broke to reciprocate. Well, we
honored their wishes. At Christmas they called and asked us, "Where
are our gifts?" One time we were expecting them to come to
our house for Christmas. They were on the road in their motor home
and said that they would be passing thru. They never showed up,
but called to ask us, "Where are our gifts?"

Worst gift: My very
materialistic, buy only the best for herself (and it must come off
of the list that she provides ahead of time) MIL gave me a thigh
exerciser for Christmas one year. I was speechless, but managed
to say thank you. Later the next year I donated it to charity.
She now complains that I give away everything that she gives to
me, since I gave this one item away. I just politely walked out
of the room. HA!
