Just to be clear, I'm expressing my frustrations here, but I was raised with enough manners not to be a jerk to someone who buys me a gift.You just don't have someone that can get you just the right thing... but that is rare to find. The odds of somebody getting me something I really want is pretty slim, but I make an effort to be grateful for any attempt at thoughtfulness is put into the gift selection. That is what is important to me, how well they know me and the effort/thought.
I am with you though on the random crap people that don't really know me give me. I'd rather not get it for the time I waste either returning it, trashing it, or storing it when I know they don't know me at all and didn't put any thought into it.
But I do have someone who can buy me just what I want... Me. I buy myself some real nice stuff.
