What is your preception on Christmas Presents with no purpose?
31st October 2008
i would rather recieve nothing for christmas than a bunch of useless junk
on my no no list
- no christmas sweaters
- no santa anythings
- no christmas crap that i cant use again till next year
- no gag gifts
i would rather u give that money to the poor than waste it buying me junk that i will play, look at for like 1 day
AND ABSOLUTELY NO CHIA PETS!
my question o sarcastic one is how do you feel about recieving things like chia pets, or christmas sweaters or seasonal items.
well im not complaining, im just trying to see, would u rather just someone buy presents for needy folks that they actually need like clothes, or shoes, than take that money and get u crap, i would rather open nothing.
so whats your question?

The idea of HAVING to give a gift to someone is ridiculous, I agree, the wealthy should just give money to the poor on Christmas and everyday for that matter. If a gift is given for a special time it should have special meaning, all of this forced exchanging of gifts is getting ridiculous and should be reserved specifically for the children if at all.

Well meaning though misguided.
Grateful someone thought of me then off they go into the
donation pile.

I agree. But I guess it's the thought that counts. Like atleast that person thought enough about you to at least get you SOMETHING. But then again sometimes people just buy stuff b/c they feel obligated. All in all those useless presents are pretty annoying.

well i enjoy getting presents and usually i get things i want and not crap. however, maybe make a wish list so that your family and friends get you things you want. ask for giftcards or american express giftcards instead of real items so that you can specialize what you want. its not being choosy, its being precise which makes you and your gift givers happier and they dont spend money on things that you dont need, want, or can use.

I see any gift I'm given as a blessing - not a waste of time, space, or money. Someone picked that out for me, they took time, they spent money, and wrapped it with care. I hate people who make faces if they get something they don't want for Christmas, or show no appreciation at all because they didn't get something off their Christmas list.
I hand-make all of my christmas gifts - usually in the form of homemade chocolates. When someone doesn't appreciate the gift because it wasn't a new CD, or a toy they wanted, I just simply don't give them anything the next year. They don't deserve my gifts and kindness, due to their selfishness.
No matter what the gift is, I give my thanks that the person cared enough to give me something.

I agree 100 %. Too many people feel that giving a gift even if they know it is useless is more important than just giving of yourself. Perhaps we can tell our friends/family from now, that spent time together is the most important thing. Forget the crap and bring some cookies instead.

i love giving and receiving Christmas gifts.
have them buy you gifts and then YOU can take them to the goodwill or ARC or whatever you have in your town or city and DONATE them, if that's what you really want to do.
i just think that you need to EXPRESS yourself to the people that are buying you gifts. i mean maybe if they knew you didn't want x-mas sweaters, santa anything, x-mas crap the you can't use to next year and, gag gifts you wouldn't GET THAT STUFF.

maybe you should suggest no one get you anything if you aren't going to be grateful. someone put some thought into the gift. you politely thank them and take it to goodwill or a community service the next day. someone will find good use for the gift you didn't want. i'm sure someone hasn't liked something you have given.
btw, chia pets rock! i get one every year from my kids. i look forward to it!

I love them personally, I feel its the thought that counts.
I cherish most everything I get, if its hand made by them its defiently a keeper, but if its regular junk I'll keep it for at least a yar

I agree with you 100%
what really pisses me off,
is that you try and tell people
to not buy for you
and they just keep buying every year.
who needs more junk sittin around
it serves no purpose whatsoever.

they usually have no value to me. clothes and cheap gifts like that mean that the person who gave you the gift wasn't being very thoughtful, and even though they took the time to get you a gift, that's just plain ridiculous. chia pets? wtf. sometimes, expensive gifts are what count.

I think it is important to consider the person's interest and personality when giving gifts. I personally do not need another mug or candle, while the thought is appreciated. I think your idea of donating to a favorite charity is nice. In a Christmas card tell the person, that in their honor, you gave to such and such. You could also give a small gift like a gift card along with it, if you like.
