A relative of mine always does.
It’s mad. I wear two styles, smart office type wear, inoffensive tops and dark trousers; and basically pjs. If I’m going out I have plenty of dresses/jeans and nice top combos.
This year they have gifted us:
Me: a high necked puff sleeved smock. A care bear jumper. A Per Una top with random bottoms and frills.
17yo DD (ids as non binary, dresses like a 90s goth) a floral blouse, flared stone wash jeans, both too big.
DH (6 ft and 10stone) a pair of extra large pyjamas. She is married to his ID twin…
AIBU to think this is insane behaviour? She does have shopping issues. My presents were two bags full, the rest was dust gathering ornaments that she would love but I very much do not.
She’s known me for nearly two decades.
I’ve played this game for too long and this time I’m actually going to tell her it’s rubbish. It’s all going to the chazza.
In comparison we got them the things they asked for from their list. I used to hate lists but I’m starting to see their value. This year for eg my brother and I agreed to give each other ten million pounds and leave it at that 🤣. (The rest of my siblings and I literally swap money, it’s bonkers). I’d really rather not bother apart from kids.
