Would you give someone a gift, if you know they would talk crap about it?

I think if it were my parents, I would try to get them a gift but maybe not something they wanted. Just something small to show that I still care but I didn't get a better present because they weren't appreciative of my last present. I don't think I would put as much effort. If they asked me why my present was so crappy, I would explain it to them. If it was anyone else, I guess depending on how close I am to that person, I might give them something really really small. Other than that, if we're not that close, I don't think I'd give them anything at all. I'd say, save most of your money that you would've used to buy your parents presents and buy a little something nice for yourself, maybe wrap it up and then open it in front of your parents saying, "Look what I got!" Haha. Or you could just save it for a rainy day or for someone who is actually appreciative of what they get.

If they dont appreciate then I would suggest you tell them. Communication is key. Tell them how you feel and maybe they will understand. If they still dont then I dont think its worth it to satisfy them with something they wanted because they didn't appreciate it in the first place. You cant please everyone. So if they dont accept it then think about something smaller to give them next time. To me I only give present to close friends and family. Therefore if I see something I like I still have money left to buy it for myself. Honestly if anyone, whether its family or friends, try to put you down or dont appreciate the things you do for them, why do you do it? They are not worth your time and its actually a privilege for THEM that you are trying to satisfy them. If they dont appreciate it, dont give them that privilege and take it away. Maybe they will appreciate it more when you take it away.

hard to say, as the one you face is your mother,she should not do like that, but in fact she did.i think you should have a talk with her, and tell her you spend much time much sprite for this bag. Maybe she will know what she do next time.

I don't give gifts to anyone who won't appreciate it for what it is. If anyone says anything disrespectful and/or embarrassing about any of my gifts, I take it from them and return it or use it on myself.
