I felt bad to people who don't appreciate the gifts they received

I have noticed these days Thank you seems to a thing of the past unless you are there right beside them, it almost seems people just think it is their right, I was always taught it was an automatic thing to say thank you and to be grateful for what you got even if it is not really the sort of thing you would normally get for yourself, it is theought that counts, i think people are just so rude these days....

well it won't ruin my day but I sure won't give them anything anymore they may not even expect it anyway and don't need it, that's why they don't seem to appreciate it or say thanks at least I would feel like wasting money on them, no matter how small so I wouldn't do it again the thing is when I give a gift, it's a gift, there is no restriction on it I don't give it so they do what I want them to do, or so that they know I can afford something, or any other intention a gift is a gift because I care. so if they can't even thank me I wouldn't spend any more money or time for them anymore. I'd rather spend it on me, hubby, my family back home or even my cat LOL they always care for me anyway so why shouldn't I spend my time and money on them back?

It is really very sad when anyone dishonor your gifts. Gifts is gift and one should look the feelings of one who is giving it and not the price of gift

Unfortunately that happens sometimes. People forget the reason for the season. It has become commercialized. So for many, it is more about the gift than the thought. It can be a shame.

hello there Bebs, if ever that happen with me definitely i will feel bad. as a giver of gift we usually take time to choose a gift that we have o give to a person but getting a bad comment or feedback about the gift sounds like that person doesn't appreciate the gift at all. that person is not sensitive of the person who gave the gift feelings for giving a nasty comment of the gift. as we have said its the though that counts, the thought that this person have think of me and gave me something no matter what the gift is. I will definitely remember about the incident and not to add the name of that person the next time i give gifts. LOL.

yeah this is very true when we give a gift to someone we really except good comments but when this doesnt happen i feel very bad n i really dont give gift to that person i had done this n i know when i do this i get a self satisfatction.......

I guess I would be curious as to why they thought that they should be ungrateful for a gift they received. I guess if they don't appreciate your gift they don't have to get another one next year. People are funny aren't they?

dear Bebs08~ if it happened to me ,i am afraid that i would have the same feeling like you, everybody has his own way to handle,i have no right to comment on it,and force ohters to appreciate your gift as well.So don't care it anymore.That We thank for other's award and do not hurt anyone is enough.

there is no need to felt bad to the people who don't appreciate the gifts they received. because if we didn't know the teste of the person. so , always find the teste of the people before givening the gift.

I think the recipient is not polite and friendly,I think if I meet the same thing ,I will feel sad too. Ithink whatever someone give me as gifts,we should be happy. It is said "gifts are light,but the friendship is heavy".But if the recipient give the gifts in return on some feast days,I will give gifts too.

Yes,I have met this situation before. At first I felt sorrow and uncomfortable,but soon I found the friends who have receivced the gift didn't mean it.Maybe they just played a joke or something else .So I think you needn't worry about it.In a addition, you needn't be sad about the recipient even who don't say thank you because you have exerted effort to do.And if a recipient can really understand the heart of you, he or she will do say thank you .SO DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?

Well,I have never been in a situation like this before but I swear even I will be really very disappointed if something of the sort happens.I usually don't get gifts for anyone other than my close friends and family.So if the recipient gives a negative reaction instead of saying thank you or anything it will really hurt me.

Yes, this is hurtful, almost like a rejection of some kind. I have had this happen to me and when it did, I never gave that person another gift.

I'll appreciate any gift I have received, even it was a very small gift......

[i]Hi Bebs, I will feel the same but so far, I haven't experienced that....but, complaining? LOL! I have tried that with my Sister, LOL! It was too tight when I fitted it and told her to just use it, but she knows me already! LOL! Bad me..LOL! ANyway, the thought and effort is a big factor already for me to appreciate the presents! Merry Christmas even if I am late! LOL![/i]

Yeah, that would make me feel bad too, especially if I took the extra effort to get them something, that I thought they would like. It would make me not to want to get them anything again. Fortunately, everybody told me Thank You, that received a gift from me, and it did make me feel good.

it wouldn't ruin my day but i might not be to quick to buy them another gift. i always appreciate that someone thought of me. i liked everything i got for christmas. i'll admit i have received gifts that i wasn't crazy about but i would never let on. that's very rude.

It depends on the situation. If you are in a pixie you have at least two weeks to find out what the person want as a pixie present there are ways to find out this. Now if you are buying something for a relative or a close friend it is best also to find out what this person need because you don't want to buy something that they already have. To me when buying a present it is good to investigate out the type of person you are buying for. The lady I am contracted to work for she brought me a nice hand bag I appreciate it because (1) it is a expensive bag and she will not give me something unless she likes it (2) she never have to give me anything seeing that I just meet here in August of this year. So you see it depends on the individual. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Of course, you'll feel bad about it. But don't dwell on it, you have given and if it's not appreciated, then let them be. You cannot please all of the people all of the time. There will always someone whom you could not please , so don't pressure yourself too much. instead, enjoy your holidays. Be happy.

i would surely feel bad about it. i might not give the person gifts anymore if he/she is the kind of person who doesnt know how to appreciate even the efforts of the giver..
