Friend coming round with ' all the presents '

[incognitomum]

One if my close friends always buys gifts for myself dh and my dcs (older)
I mentioned a while back to not buy this year and she agreed.

She must have forgotten as she's coming round with all the presents. I'm so stuck as don't have a clue what to get her? She's coming tomorrow night.

Aibu to mention it and say to just tell me what to get? To be honest she's very difficult to buy for. She has everything.

Dining Out gift card? Or cinema?

You agreed not to get any... can’t you just text back and say “oh I thought we weren’t doing presents this year?”

Could you get her tickets to a show or gift card for a restaurant? Or both?

You should reply and say you thought you weren't doing gifts this year. If she's got you something she can save it for your birthday maybe?

It's her error not yours.

I did think about reminding her about no gifts but feel a bit shit as she's already got them.

Maybe an experience or gift card is the way to go? She loves opening gifts. I'm not arsed at all about gifts but I know she is. She has so much.

I'm changing and becoming less materialistic. She's the opposite and loves to buy stuff. I find it hard buying things just for the sake of it.

She loves animals so maybe I could do something to do with that?

She's bought for all of us so can't say keep it for a birthday. Plus she's easily offended. She can be quite hard work tbh.

Jesus

Honestly one of the best responses I have ever seen

@Queenofthree tightarse

Well, that's one way to derail a thread!

Oh queenie, you are funny

@incognitomum 😂😂

I see you have finally disowned Prince Andrew then.

we got given a large sum of money so we are pretty well off.

That’s hilarious. I’m looking forward to seeing you in a few years, when you’re complaining about being broke because of your spending your imaginary money.

@Queenofthree you were so banned the other day for triping this bull all over the boards too. Keep dreaming my lovely 😂😂

Now @incognitomum I think it’s going to have to be a new car. Don’t be tight 😂

It was under another username I should say. So particularly sad if you’ve started another profile to do this.

She can't drive or I'd buy her a Ferrari

"I haven't got you anything because we agreed not to buy presents this year."

If she flounces off, who cares.

Or get her a charity donation.

Or you can let yourself be bullied into buying a higher or something, as PPs seem to think you should do.

*buying a voucher

We have a friend who said (due to her finances) not to do gifts for adults. We agreed but we cant help it. We always want to get her something. Esp as her husband left her for another woman.
So she may get bit upset but we just want to be generous to her. We do not expect anything from her though

@incognitomum haha.. I like your style.

ok realistically. She’s materialistic right? And it’s just her? What’s your budget?

I too would suggest messaging her to say that you thought you were skipping pressies this year?
