[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2473459, member: 372717"] You've got to wonder about the mindset of someone who repeatedly gives a gift when they've been asked not to. I wonder if it's laziness, carelessness or just amnesia? The default gifts for people you don't know well tend to be chocolates, flowers and alcohol. People like to bring a gift when they visit over the holiday period so they'll have a few boxes of chocolates stashed away for people who aren't getting a "real" gift? They feel that they've got to bring something and what's left? Oh, the chocolates. If only there were a socially acceptable gift that could be given to recovering alcoholics, diabetics and hay fever sufferers. I think the flowers win, but you can't stash them in the cupboard and bring them out 6 months later. (Though I do have some friends who don't eat at Christmas visits at a relatives house, because she brings out the leftover uneaten food from the year before.) [/QUOTE]
