Anyway, I did some Black Friday shopping online today. I'm honestly not a huge fan of consumerism, but my parents want to get me gifts and I feel it'd be wrong of me not to gift anything back. So, I got a bunch of things on sale that my parents needed anyway (like towels and slippers because both of those things have holes in them). Only downside is that I had to ruin the surprises because they were actually going to buy the stuff themselves.
I suppose I'll get my sister a cheap gift like fern46 was suggesting. Not sure what to get though. I'll have to think about that. Maybe makeup stuff, like a $20 gift card to Sephora. She'll probably be pissed though. She demands expensive gifts even though she doesn't reciprocate, not even partially. I am afraid she is going to go bankrupt when she moves out on her own in a few months, but my therapist said not to feel guilty for refusing to help out because she knows better and needs to start respecting people more.

Hey Blue, another thought that came to mind for your sister... What about a weighted blanket? I know you enjoy yours and she'll need stuff for her new place when she moves out. There are a ton on sale right now. You don't have to get her the luxury edition... Maybe there's a decent one with the features you enjoy. Or maybe there's something else you enjoy that she's never tried. The makeup gift card sounds nice as well.
Your therapist sounds wise.
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!
