For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    Folks finally listened to me when I said “get me something I’ll use every day or don’t bother, it’s wasteful”.

      Mrs got me a backscratcher. Best fucking present ever. I’ve used it basically every day since Christmas.

      I just tell people not to get me stuff. I don’t want your shitty gifts, I just buy what I want anyway.
