Are you surprising anyone with gifts this Christmas?

Question

Tbh, my fam is ungrateful af and don’t deserve shit. I taught em a lesson one Christmas but had to hear them pout, the following year. Still, I figured I’d make them think the same for this holiday. But i actually bought them some nice stuff (just not $300+ each like that one Christmas). I’ve been hiding it all over the house and ordered everything online so its been shipped almost daily. My fam talks noise like “Yippee another package for you! You never think about anyone else.”
The attitudes have been killing me because I wanna send all the shit back. But i think I’d feel better by making them feel bad on Christmas day when I tell them that the packages were for them THE WHOLE DANG TIME. Atm they assume I’m just adding to my film collection (in which I am) but only like 25% of it is for me. Then i got a gaming chair that I gotta send back cause its like built for someone with no hips/thighs. My skateboard is coming later this month and my snowglobes are on the way. But like i said, i put the little bastards first. They should be happy once the find out. Its not like they’re buying me anything. 🤣

Yea giving gifts is always a pain in the ass , usually I just give money or gift cards so they can go buy what they want , Unless I feel for sure it’s something they really want and would make them smile then I might surprise them with it , but giving gifts is such a pain in the ass , not knowing how someone’s reaction is going to be , or they are
Going to be let down , whether they are faking it or really into it , I usually tell people not to get me anything unless it’s something they know for sure it will make me laugh or smile , and If they ask me what I want then that defeats the whole purpose of Christmas is how I look at it , Knowing what someone is giving me is kind of lame , I always tell people if you are unsure on what to get me , buy me beer I won’t complain or scratch off lottery tickets. If I hit a million dollars then we really are going to party it up lol I am pretty content when it comes to things I usually just buy things for myself that I want so I don’t really depend on someone else to get me things , I know girls think complete opposite , when I get into a relationship with a girl she is always more of the spender then I am , I tell her just as long as the bills are paid and I have food in my mouth and clothes on my back and I can buy some beer on the weekends , Have a blast but don’t make us poor , the only problem I run into with that is come Christmas time I don’t know what to buy her and if I try to buy her a really nice expensive gift it always turns into We don’t have the money for that , or if I don’t buy her anything she will say you don’t love me or care about me , While I am thinking Bitch you were draining my bank account all year I didn’t get you anything? Women will never be happy , always something

Hear me out:

Best I can do are mints 👐😌

Peppermints, more specifically. May add little sticker Santa hats to them 😏😂

could I recommend you collect some rocks, blow-torch them black, and hand it to them with ribbons, announcing they have been very bad this year? 😂

Or

is that still doing too much 🥲🤣

Like @LiteralBillionaire and unlike her title lol I’m literally broke this fiscal year lol! 🤑💸

Also, I don’t feel bad, since they have been very naughty as well.

I have been a big giver in past christmases 👐, so I think I share some of the passionate aggravation faced with ungrateful members? 👀

honestly though, in your situation, I feel like the family is just playing out their continued, sore self-pity/ grief, from the year before.

I think proving to them how overcoming and overlooking you are, is a win?
up to you.

If I had the funds, I’d gift my family 10 times out of 10 regardless of their crappy attitudes, and such.

I think the value of those gifts would just fluctuate, depending on the interactions between them, and I.

Maybe Christmas cards would suit them this year idek 🤷‍♀️😂

I'm executing a different kind of surprise this Yuletide Season.

When some people discover they've been dropped from my Christmas parties guests lists, that's the surprise they're getting from me.

They shouldn't be surprised they've been left out for a Christmas gift either.

NathanDavis · Answer

I only buy gifts for the little ones... since they're the ones that really get excited about it and the ones with no income lmao, that is our tradition, to focus on the young ones and so... my tradition is to always ask them what would they want to get, no surprises, just actual stuff they would want to have for Christmas

but, I am always on the lookout... and if I see something special that I know someone special to me would love... I always get it, but I just have not seen something like it so far, lol

however!! I've been watching Wednesday these days and, if I happen to stumble upon a black cello, I am definitely going to get it for my best friend...

melanieeeB · Answer

Not really haha the kids in the family already got an advent calendar from me and that's it, I'm unemployed for January and want to buy a car next year so I can't spend my savings for extras lol

Chikky · Answer

Nah I'm not surprising anyone, already gave out the gifts early Dezzy, I want to know how they react after you gifted them babe

SnowedIn · Answer

My kids and wife know nothing of what they're getting which is really cool. The surprise is genuine.

Pink2000 · Answer

I wish. I love buying gifts for people but no one is deserving of gifts this year.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Totally understand your situation. But! I just told the whole family and friends that i am no longer buying any presents to anyone anymore, grow up and don't buy me shit that i never use. So this Christmas! No presents (just for my 4 year old nephew). I think all this presents thing is taking away the fun out of Christmas and becomes a stressful tradition instead

jamesgoldman · Answer

My brother doesn't know what I bought him just the price so he can reciprocate

My mother doesn't know what I bought her

My father knows it'll be rum as will my other friends who get rum and beer I suspect know as it generally all I buy for them

The other friend already had his cigar a few weeks ago when he was visiting

I know what I bought myself as well

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

I don’t know if giving gifts with the express purpose of making them FEEL bad is exactly what the holiday is about, but yes, I agree that you should NOT sent their gifts back, as you’ll only confirm their belief that you were being selfish. The best part of any gift is the giving, not the receiving. Giving someone a gift that genuinely makes them happy, THAT is the reason for the season. And when seeing their excited faces make you happier than receiving any gift ever could… THAT’s when you know that you are doing it for the right reason!

JDavid25 · Answer

No, at least I don't think so.. I need to get them something for Christmas.. SinceI spent a lot of money on my ex and gave her family something.. I feel pretty bad since my mother gave me something last year..

Anonymous · Answer

you sound very giving and well off with money. i don't want to spend any money on presents, i think it's a waste. i barely spend on myself, why should i on other people? that's where i'm at right now. nothing personal to them.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Contemplating getting my dad a birthday gift or making his birthday gift part of his Christmas present. Thinking about a father/son scuba diving day

TrueConfection · Answer

Surprising? Not really. They don't know what they're getting, but I have their wishlists to help me. Sometimes they are not all that helpful though (missing color and size choices).

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

It's great to see your questions again, just saying 🥰 I'm surprising my brothers. I haven't seennthem in a while.

Anpu23 · Answer

I purchased a vintage silver brush set for the wife, had the monogram changed to her initial. About the only real gift I purchased

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

No. I treated everyone (those who matter most) nice and helped out throighout the year and shouldn't be spending anymore money.

I believe in giving when you want AND can due to obligation and being in debt or strain due to it

AimeeKyle · Answer

My kids will get some surprise gifts and a few that they have a good idea / asked for.

Jack0ff779 · Answer

was going to not anymore not after the hurtful things demi's been doing lately

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

I’m really not that creative so I tend to just get something essential and leave it in the bag… lol! But we will see. I want to try to get some fun presents.

RavVid · Answer

Well rather than having to exercise thought my sister and I just decided not to give each other things we don't want. Happy Christmas on the day is as much as we do if we are feeling organised.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

Probably nothing considering I don't have any money I can generally call my own but once I make my own money next time I definitely will buying everyone gifts.
