Flowers, lottery tickets, gift cards to restaurants, books, concert tickets (for their age and tastes), cruise tickets (long or short cruises), gourmet food or wine baskets, gift cards for personal services… Name a star after them? ; p

The idea is kind of nice, to be honest. However, I wonder if Cathy’s parents are trying to guilt her into visiting … ?
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

Having my daughters and son-in-law home for Christmas is the only gift I ever need or want. Any other gift is a bonus.

My mother used to say nothing I have to wash, dust, clean, feed or take care of. I started giving her trips. She’d pick a vacation and I’d pay for us to go.

I agree. I don’t really want stuff anymore and I don’t want to give stuff either. For friends, I’m happy meeting for a nice lunch to catch up and enjoy time together. For family, I’m also happy to spend time together, maybe going on a trip or doing something fun.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a good day!

I feel the same…I have enough stuff…At my age, it’s time to unload some of it…but friends keep bringing gifts.
