A gift should just be accepted with the caring it was given with. However small or large that is not of consequence. A gift is a gift... It should never be thought of as the worse gift you have received...
Yes, but some of these seem to have been given with no care whatsoever, just as an afterthought which is both insulting and hurtful to the recipient
I was given a set of kitchen utensils (fish slice, slotted spoon, ladle etc) in a plastic carrier bag for my birthday one year from my first husband. Very imaginative - and very last minute since he popped into Woollies on his way home from work because he’d forgotten it was my birthday until the postman brought me the birthday cards from my sisters and parents in the morning before he’d left the house.
