What do the gifts you received, really say? What does the giver really think of you to have selected that present?

For instance, if someone buys you a road atlas - is the message "get lost"?

Or if they buy you bath/shower sets - is the message "you stink, go wash"?

What did you get this year that might have a hidden, comic agenda?

No, I don't think so, Lady Ellen (you are giving people far too much credit, I think). Unless they know you really well, maybe, and for some reason intend to hurt you.

There was a relative of my mother's (who has been dead for years now), who used to buy all of the kids underwear, every year for Christmas. Part of the reason was because she had lots of kids to buy for, and not a lot of money to do it with (she had something like 25 nieces and nephews she bought gifts for) - and part of it was that she was just practical, and figured they might need it.

So this year, "in memory of Mimi", my sister got everyone in our family new underwear (even my dad!). I don't know exactly what that says, actually.

But - it is nice underwear (from Victoria's Secret). And I was grateful for it, because, although I do consider my lingerie, and purchase lingerie with care, I rarely think about my everyday underwear. I just launder it every week, and wear it. So - it's probably time for new undies, come to think of it.

But, it was an odd choice, in a way. Not sure what it says, really. Beyond the "in memory of Mimi" part, anyway.

No! Its not meant to be serious!

People dont give gifts if they dont like us - this is meant to be how it could be interpreted, in a comic way....

Like, make-up = wow youre ugly, a book = read something thicko! and so on.....

I used to receive a lot of bath sets and scented candles. I figured people thought I was a smelly pyromaniac.

I got a flexi quirt and a vampire glove from my sub. I think that says "hey whip my ass and rub it, please? pretty please Mistress?"

It wasn't this year, but My sister once bought Me a fire extinguisher as a gift, of all things. Maybe she thought I was so inept, I might set the kitchen on fire!

My aunt keeps sending Me these fruitcakes every year. Maybe she's trying to tell Me she thinks I'm a fruitcake?

And the friend that gave Me coffee....is that a hint that I need to perk up?

One time an ex gave Me a dictionary as a gift shortly before we broke up....I took that as a sign that the end was near, and I was right

One year my dad bought me a fire escape ladder (he really did). Maybe he was saying : I think you need to get out of the house?

I once got a vacume cleaner and a crock pot from the same person. Needless to say he did learn his lesson quickly. That was prior to full on lesbian conversion.

As to what it meant..............I don't think I should even go there......

That "gift set" would make ANYONE a lesbian.

It explains so much.

Could the George Foreman Grill I received mean that I am a "champ" or "knock out" in the kitchen?

Or perhaps that you're not to be trusted around open flame?

We once recieved an electric knife from our geriatric neighbour....with the gift tag from last year (when her nephew had given it to her) still attached. Come to think of it, that was the same year I got a half-full bottle of talc from her.

This was no noble effort from a hard up old crone, by the way....she was simply batty

I give gifts like that all of the time. In my circles I am known for giving the perfect gift.
However, generally when trying to say something to a person...it is because that person is less than pleasurable to be around daily.
My doms sister has treated him like an outcast all of his life. Married to a minister they have told us...amoung many others than they are holier than God. Cannot forgive (he got a divorce and cannot be forgiven)
So, every Christmas I search far and wide to give them a gift that says something about forgiveness. A gift that urges them to look into their own souls and see what is missing.
First gift this year started with one of those new hallmark cards that speak. Charlie Brown, where Linus tells what the true meaning of Christmas is.

My brother was notorious for giving people new towels for Christmas. If you were a couple he would give you two. Single you would get one. That would be the gift. So a few year's back we gave him the same thoughful gift. Offended was not even a good enough word for the sentiment we got back.
Though he learned.

For caring people, nope we just try to fulfill a wish for them, whatever it may be.

I got a red turtleneck sweater from my sister. I think she's trying to tell me to stop wearing black shirts with plunging necklines. *jealous!*

I have a relative who will send a card, inside it reads ' I purchased a cow for (insert name) African village or "I paid tuition for (insert name) starving villager to attend school for a year" ..all in your name.

Contributes to charity in the gift recipient name.

I never know what to make of it.
