To be feeling ungrateful for my Christmas presents?

[gotitalltodo49]

This year I got a pair of pjs from DS1 - too small. A pair of slippers from DS2 - too small and bought 'heavily discounted from Amazon and would cost more to return' (his words). A palette of makeup more suitable for a 13 year old from DH (possibly non returnable). As a joke present they also got me a chain for my glasses as I keep losing them - it's the only present I can actually use!
I know it is the thought that counts but my sons are 26 and 19 and were advised on sizing by their dad. I am just so disappointed that they/he got it all so wrong and am feeling ungrateful because they genuinely thought they had done good! It isn't the cost because money is extremely tight and I don't expect expensive gifts. (I dont drink and shouldn't eat chocolates for medical reasons (pre-diabetic) so those things weren't an option for them.)
So AIBU for feeling a bit disappointed that my only useable Christmas gift was a granny chain for my specs?

Yanbu...this is why i think im doing a no gift year. My dp does put some thought in but still gets it very wrong. Bless him.

Yanbu that's pathetic isnt it? I would be very hurt If these were my children. Absolutely pathetic presents. Your dh doesnt need to give them sizes, they are your children and should have some sort of inkling about something that you like.

My ds is 3 and is able to pick out things that I like!

My dh is useless with my sizings so many wrong sizes over the years so now I get anything but clothes.Which is great for me! DVds,flowers.perfume,the list to choose from is endless for present buyers so I totally understand your disappointment OP.Just thoughtless and careless.I am sorry. Go out and treat yourself ...not the same Iknow but still....

Can I ask, did you used to get nice thoughtful presents when you got together and now it’s gone downhill? Or have they always been bad. I’m just wondering as a lot of people posting that they weren’t happy with gifts but not in new relationships so Im trying to work out if it’s expected that the thoughtfulness goes away?

Unless you have agreed that gifts aren’t really important you could tell him that you expected more in terms of effort. It’s not really about the money.

For comparison I have 3 DS’s 19, 21 and 30 and they clubbed together and got me a massive Yankee candle set. They also all gave me a separate gift each which in total was 2 bottles of Baileys and some nice chocolates. From my DH I received a hairdryer, a £25 clothes voucher from a shop I like (I mentioned I’d like a voucher this year to use in the sales), more Baileys, candles and some perfume. Other than a lot of Baileys (which will get drunk at some point) they all did well and there was a lot of thought involved particularly from my 3 DC.

It really is the thought that counts as when no thought is involved ....eg wrong size or something you would never use, (knee and elbow pads from MIL) I would much prefer to have nothing.
It's a faff to think how do I get rid of this item, charity shop, giveaway to family members that might make use of it etc. It just adds to the disappointment of something totally unsuitable, then stress of how to get rid that isn't completely wasteful.

Lippy can I pop round? I love Baileys. Seriously though sounds like you're about to drown in it

My dd bought me a great mug ( she had it printed specially) and dsd a small box of chocolates but that was the lot.. dp muttering about trip to a jewellery shop though so will wait it out
