Do you guys ever feel guilty for getting a much better present than you have given?

[MavsSuperFan]

my uncle gave me the newest Ipad mini
I got him a tie

:facepalm :facepalm

Now i feel like a broke, cheap, dick.

When I was a kid I would hope for the best presents possible. Now I feel relieved when i dont get something great, especially if the relationship isnt super close.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

I used to.

Until I made a certain assumption.

That assumption being that human beings will, barring any manipulative affection-buying loyalty-buying quid pro quo type implicit agenda, purchase gifts within a reasonable price for others that they can afford rom their budget.

Never exchanged gifts.

Another reason to hate Christmas.

[Qwyjibo]

No. Because I tell people to not get me anything and they don't. No unhappiness from anyone.

a tip is to get them something that's about the same value as what they got you the previous year

Bingo. Is how I buy gifts. If it's out of what I feel comfortable spending, then I don't buy it and will look for something else to purchase.

[CelticBaller]

they don't expect shit from a currently unemployed college student :confusedshrug:

[Bcogswell]

Nope, its not about trading gifts of equal value and if thats what they are expecting when they purchase something expensive for you then its pretty stupid. You spend a lot of money on a gift when you want and can afford to do it, not because someone spent a lot on you.

My uncle is a great guy, he meant well I am sure.

I could have afforded something better than a tie though. so i feel like a cheap bastard.

[AS85]

I've been quite poor most of my life. Hand to mouth existence levels poor.

Most of the gifts I got were always much more expensive than the ones I gave, if ever. It is a very demoralizing experience.
People who gifted me lot of stuff knew that it was beyond my capability to return the favour. I felt it was very condescending of them.

Thankfully I am better off now, and match those people gift for gift.
