Oh now, don't be silly!  

We don't do gifts anymore, but every now and then somebody (a neighbor, or somebody the husband works with,etc) will send over some kind of food item that just looks - let's just say, not so good.

I'm VERY food-neurotic, so I won't eat just anything.  Of course, I'm always gracious and they never know.  But - ewww!  hehe

I buy a family gift, this will be the last year I give Christmas stuff

Maybe some people love it, I know those who do.  I'm just thinking it is interesting to see what we get. . . I don't really mean to rain on someone's parade because we are all different.  I should have said that to begin with.

I am  tired of  Argan Oil,     Also, Dyson products  and computers.

I'm sick of all the stuff for sale on QVC.  Don't watch anymore.  They need to get some new vendors and products!  I've been a member since the beginning, too!

What if I cooked it in a Le Creuset pot you don't have and have ALWAYS wanted and sat at the table with you and said "After you have the candy in it you can keep the pot. . . ?"  NOW what?

@Moonchilde

Have to agree with you on the scented candle... no, no, no -- I did get a few as a teacher and they were pretty (for the classroom). Anything scented (for me) needs to come with Saran Wrap over the top... I have migraines and virtually any scent can set them off!!!

Oh, No - I just bought a throw for a co-worker.  Thanks for making me feel like I'm giving a gift that people are sick of.

Welllll, if it's YOU - that's a whole 'nother thing.   Come on over, but you can keep the pot and take some more with you.  I hope you like Red, Black, and Dune.  

Oh, and it's candy?  Well, I haven't said no to candy yet.  Anything milk chocolate with coconut, peanut butter, marshmallow, mint.  Yeah, that.  

What I've usually seen is cookies, or some other unidentifiable, that appear to have seen better days and don't look clean.

There is no need to take other peoples' opinions personally.  Do you buy her a throw every year?  Maybe SHE isn't sick of them.

@LTT1, for me it was the fact that most scented candles have zero scent to me. The only time I can smell anything is when I blow the candle OUT. That, and what does one do with half a dozen candles gifted over the years that just...sit there. I don't really have a desire to burn them.

*Flameless* candles...maybe, but I only have room for so many.
