I understand dear Down and lonely. I also do not do gift giving with my folks .Specially mom.I picked my mom's favorite variety when I went Apple picking.All of them rotted in the fruit bowl,they didn't even touch them.I bought mom a big bottle of supplements. They never opened the bottle and they expired. Some of my well thought out gifts were given away to others.Once I knitted a very pretty sweater for my mom.Later I found holes all over it.The list of such events is never ending.I donot want to turn OP's happy thread into gloomy one .So I stop here.
