Well, I'm afraid that I get upset / annoyed / peeved / etc when I spend time and effort buying something that I think will be ideal, only for the recipient to say that it isn't suitable (ie. that I should have known better) and that it has, therefore, been returned.
And I, in turn, have a house full of items which I could really do without, but which I feel obliged to keep, just because they were gifts.
Is that really a better situation?
Actually, there is only one young child in the family, now, and that is the one I need a list for. Most of the others are usually ok to buy for ~ except that I never, ever know what to get for my husband and, as his birthday is in December, I have to come up with two ideas ~ plus ideas for other family members who ask me
