I don't care if someone got me something or not. Some people just do not think along the same lines as I do. It drives my dh batty that I pour so much into thinking of others when many never "return" any favors to me. To me, what makes me feel good is that those people know I was thinking of them.

Best gift:
Any gift, no matter how small or insignificant. Even if it took no thought to put together and came from the contents between couch cushions, it shows that the person at least had me in their thoughts. Oh, and I LOVE the sentimental gifts, including handmade ornaments. I love my mom's Christmas tree because it's filled with handmade ornaments!

Worst gift:
A lack of respect for me at any point. The little things matter to me. For example, a dc parent who pays late, bounces a check or picks up their child late.
