Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 There are nice gifts that are Christmas worthy. BUT, not for every year, birthday, etc..... So, what is 'The Gift' that you prefer NOT to get ..... again. Mine is: another FLANNEL SHIRT. I got enough flannel shirts to dress up a Cowboy posse. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Clothes, unless it’s a cool tee shirt that isn’t black. As a kid I always got clothes. Rarely a toy or game. Now it seems, in the past 10 years, someone buys me polyester cotton flannel pajama bottoms. It’s freakin’ weird. Why do people think those are needed. I flippin’ hate polyester with a passion and pajama bottoms? WTH is up with that? I think it’s because they’re a cheap no-brainer gift. Hell, the damn things don’t even make good rags. EDIT: I would like a photo of Otto Communista hanging from the gallows for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I'm with you guys...any article of clothing. Give me books, restaurant gift cards, ammo, primers, good wishes. I have enough clothes to last the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Do not give me clothes, snack gift arrangements or gift cards to YOUR favorite restaurant. If I do receive stuff like that, I graciously thank the giver for it and later donate or give it away. I'm with Pat on polyester. Whoever invented that crap for use as clothing should be wrapped up in it and set out into the Florida sun for 10 hours with no breeze and then set on fire so that the polyester sticks to them like glue. Okay, maybe not that extreme but you get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I prefer to buy my own clothes, but I usually encourage my mom to get me a couple of dark colored T-shirts because I can specify the size and brand and they don’t cost her much. Otherwise, I’d rather not get clothes either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Dad would do his Christmas shopping at the grocery store. Whitman Samplers for the women, big package of Wright bacon for the men. Done. Always appreciated and never put aside and forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I just want a nice, sincere card from my wife and kids. Let the grandkids get me something so they can feel good when I love it.

bgavin Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 We send cash to our kids to pass out to the grand kids. Shipping has gotten so ridiculously expense (and time consuming), it is pointless sending something they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Clothes ( They seldom fit or suit my taste, and I need large-tall, not xl shirts, but no one listens). Gift cards- I’d just assume get cash Yeti ( and similar) coffee cups/tumblers- please stop it! Books I'll never read (usually from Ollie's discount store).

Coyote Kid, SASS#54714 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I agree with sending cash to the to the adult kids and grandkids. As my late father-in-law always said " It is always the right color, the right size and is never returned". With the kids spread all over the country it is easier to mail a check then large box. Then follow up with a phone call or Alexia face to face on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas, Coyote Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I went on a phase of making gifts. Mary's sister had two girls. I took 2"x2"s and plane them and cut them up into blocks of different lengths and angles. Had a 5 gallon bucket full. The girls got a room full of Fisher Price plastic toys - probably a $1,000 worth. But they dumped out the bucket of blocks and went to playing with them. Their mother just shook her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 We stopped the gift barrage years ago. Now we make a generous Toys for Tots donation. Those kids really do need some Christmas joy and somebody to care about them. To feel like Christmas, we listen to Christmas music, call friends and relatives, have a good meal, and put empty boxes under the tree for visuals. The cats love the boxes after they get unwrapped ----- and before sometimes when they do their own unwrapping. Peace on Earth and Joy to the World!

Pat Riot Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Flannel Shirts for Christmas. I don’t know about you all, but unless I buy flannels in Tall sizes after 2 or 3 washings the sleeves shrink. Drives me nuts. Not only did I get several flannel shirts that I didn’t pick out, but I also got flannels that have too short of sleeves in short order and No, I am not running around looking like Larry the Cable Guy. “Get’er Done!” I give them to Goodwill or another charity.
