Birthday gift

A bag of sour grapes flavoured sweet drops .

I think you've done it long enough, with bad results. So this year, give her "nothing" - and see how she likes that. Probably she won't like it, either, because she won't have what to scorn. But that's now her problem, not yours.

Just send a card, preferably one of those on-line ones which are truly awful - always assuming, of course, that she has a computer.

Other thn that nothing. Why waste your money?

Put nothing in a box with a label saying “ a little box of nothing as nothing pleases you’.

I’m feeling a bit off today with people who give no thought for the feelings of others . Sometimes they need a bit of their own medicine.

Ginny - brilliant!

A lump of coal seeing as she has been a bad girl

I fore one wouldn't buy anyone anything again if they rubbished what I'd spent time and effort over. However some feel obliged. How about an Oxfam Unwrapped Charity Gift? A Pile of Poo is included! At least someone would appreciate your kindness.

I once got someone like her a card that read "Rub here to feel SPECIAL today" (the word "special" was embossed) and inside the card I wrote something like "Hope this does it for you".

People like that are just annoying, I say to them "All you have to do with a gift is to gracefully (or gratefully) receive it. It's not that hard!"

Lots of great suggestions here, charity if you are feeling generous, a little box of nothing as Ginny suggests if you are in a sarcastic mood, or just plain nothing if you rather forget it's her 70th!

Conveniently !!! forget it is her /was her birthday

She reminds me of my mother who when opening a gift from me, looked at it turned to one of my sisters saying "I don't want this. Do you?" What galled the most was that she then spent an hour telling me how wonderful the presents my sisters gave her.

You could twin her toilet! It’s a charity that builds toilets in poor and remote areas around the world. I’ve got a lovely photo of my latrine in Cambodia. ?

I tried to send a pic but it didn’t work.

Worst present I ever received was a "soap on a rope", slightly used with one pubic hair stuck to it. (I suspect we had arrived at my aunt's house unexpectedly and she'd just wrapped the first thing she could grab!)

Just what you need!

A DIY tool kit ?

May7, my sister who was 70 this year actually asked me to make a donation to charity in her name. She is notoriously difficult to buy for but I had already bought her a present after many lockdown hours spent internet browsing to find just the right thing. She said she liked it - but I can't be 100% certain that she did.

A multipack of disposable sheweesto show how much she’s peed you off?

Lots of charities have gift cards you can give to the person you have "bought" the gift for.

Good idea May7 and not one she can complain about!
?

Perhaps donate to a charity in her name to mark the occasion and explain to her that at the age of 70 she probably has everything she needs and you wont be sending anymore gifts.

Oopsadaisy is right don't waste your money on a gift that won't be appreciated. The only suitable gift I can think of is a one way ticket to somewhere far away hoping that she does not come back! She may be your Sister but you do not have to put up with her rudeness.

TBH I wouldn’t waste my money on her, just send a card and tell her that the next time you see her you will bring a picnic.

A gift voucher for Boots should be just about right!

I love Ginny's suggestion ?
