Christmas Gift Rejection

What a rude and spoilt brat your sister is. Give her nothing, and keep the cinema voucher for yourself.

When she asks why she is getting nothing then tell her bluntly. Say you were hurt by her reaction to the gift you had bought.

Stop sharing stuff with your mum too, as she can't seem to be relied upon not to blab and interfere.

She needs to fuck off herself, how ungrateful and rude.

Give her nothing, give her partner a gift

Chocolate gold coins for her I think!

It amazes me that there are grown ups that act like spoiled, rude little brats and still have people around them. She’d get nothing from me and I’d enjoy the cinema tickets myself.

What a it bitch. I’d be keeping the vouchers the ungrateful sod

Yeah this is key.

For me, cinema vouchers are a no. But that's me. Because I have young children and no one to have them unless I pay a babysitter. So DH and I would be polite on receipt, but inwardly thinking FFS what a thoughtless present that we'll have to pay out more than it's worth to use.

However you say she is a regular cinema user even with young children. Has anything changed to make her ability to get a babysitter more difficult? Is she newly relying on GPs for daily childcare whilst studying so can't really impinge on their evenings as well without feeling twatty.

The other thing that would irk me is a Groupon type voucher deal, which screams impersonal and only purchased because it's a deal for the gifter. Plus only one little local cinema is close to me, the nearest big brand one is 34 miles away. I don't really want to do a 70 mile round trip to use a voucher. Is there anything similar that's made it unusable?

I made DNan a cinema hamper one year. A £40 ticket voucher in a little basket with gourmet sweeties and popcorns. She had just started going to the mid day OAP viewing with her friends.

Irrespective of all of the above, your DSis is a prize dickhead for her ungrateful rant.

She can pay for her own tattoo then the ungrateful welp! And if she's that skint she needs it subsidised then she can't afford one.

Yes it was a bit! 😂

The family member who handed it over had the impression they were hoping they could turn it down in favour of some cash!

They aren't people we are especially close to - second cousins - which was why we hadn't gone; but if we were close, I would have been really quite hurt.

Agreed. Just tell her that you’re no longer doing Christmas presents going forward. Keep them for yourself. I dislike grabby people especially those who don’t care what they get you.

Don't know why your mother would spoil the surprise unless she herself is a bit of a shit stirrer. Is she?

As for the sister and the boyfriend or whatever he is I wouldn't get them anything at all. nothing

For once, I hope the OP is a troll, because it is hard to believe anyone could be as outrageously rude, entitled and lacking in self-awareness as the sister.

The nasty bitch wouldn’t even be getting a Christmas card from me, and that would be the end of present giving on that side of the family.

Some people do ask for lists. But speaking to you like that is not ok. If she'd wanted the cash for surgery because she is in agony on an NHS waiting list, I'd have some sympathy. If it was to spend on food/something vital, I'd forgive the rudeness.
Not in this case.

Actually yeah..... maybe just the chocolate Santa for the partner. Why should he miss out on a pressie 😂

TBH I see quite a bit of it on here, especially with presents for Grandchildren. and pps saying the grandparents are being "passive aggressive" by not following the approved lists for gifts.

What's the point of adults gifting each other cash? You give her £25 and she gives you the same back is just pointless.

Perfect 👌

Yes, I'd use this as the perfect opportunity to end gift-swapping with your incredibly rude sister. As a PP said, tell her you'll just use the voucher yourself and she can spend whatever she'd have spent for you and your partner however she sees fit. Life's too short for all this drama, and I'd wouldn't feel like she's worth giving a gift again, so I'd suggest simplifying life by just stopping the gift exchange altogether.

I'd give the pair of tickets to her partner and in the Christmas card tell him that he should feel free to take whoever he wants with him as your sister says she's no time to join him!

Sister wanting a tattoo tells you all you need to know, she's a chav, give her nothing.

@ellie09 absolutely have them for yourself and DH. There’s always some releases over the festive period, so you should now look forward to a night out just the two of you, courtesy of your ‘ungrateful’ sister.

Tell her to buy her own fecking tattoo. Piss taker!
And have a word with your mum too, big mouth!

@ellie09
I'd ditch the bitch
And give her absolutely nothing at all
She's an ungrateful greedy moomoo
And deserves nothing for her ingratitude
Also would announce that from now on
I'm not doing presents as far as she's concerned anymore and
Let her buy her own tacky tramp stamp
But one thing I want to know
Is why did your mother say anything??
I'd be having a word with her too

Yep! I’d like to see them but it doesn’t happen. Maybe I just stop trying

I think it was a nice gift and your sister is being very rude. It is up to the giver to choose the gift!! Well done for opting for an experience they can share!
We had cinema vouchers from a relative one year and we were delighted.

Id be sending a message to all siblings. That after X attitude over gifts, you wont be buying siblinga gifts anymore.

’Tramp stamp’ made me laugh. Chill out…
