LOL! I think yours and mine came from the same weird planet!! Forgot she
gave me your #2. And I have another one you don't want to know
Post by SterlingOMG! My sister does/did the same thing.
I have 4 other brothers and sisters, so buying xmas for all of them and
their families would be too much a burden on all of us when we were first
starting out - so we put all names in a hat and drew names. I don't know
why, but my sister ALWAYS got my name. For 4 years, I asked for Isotoner
gloves, and what did I get from her?
#1 - knitted Mittens
#2 - cheap imitation bulky gloves
#3 - knitted Mitten gloves (each finger was a different color, with a
covering that went over the fingers to form mittens)
#4 - Cheap imitation bulky gloves that were so stiff, I couldn't make a fist
I finally got my isotoners from my hubby the year after.
My sister always bought people crap, from crap stores, for crap prices
too. She still might... but after the 5th or 6th xmas where we (hubby and
I) got nothing but crap from my sister and hubby, I said I wasn't doing it
any longer and I was only buying for the kids!!
Are all sisters alike?

Post by DwynYour friend is very lucky indeed to have you for a friend! ;-)
Thank you...
Only certain friends get beaded or stitched gifts. The ones who appreciate
them.
I'll never give my sister anything beaded again. She'd be bitching about how
her work scissors would walk away - so I made a long beaded leash that would
clip to her desk drawer and the scissors. I think it is still sitting in her
bedroom because it was too nice for the office (she works at the transfer
station). It was plastic beads for a reason....
I was going to trade my sister for yours.....but I wouldn't do that to
you. Mine has more money than Bill Gates, yet buys all of our Xmas gifts
at thrift shops, dollar stores and discount outlets.........in other
words, anywhere she can save a buck. It doesn't matter to her that the
item is too small, too ugly, wrong colour or wrong style.....and I have
no clue why she is so thoughtless.
Picture a slightly overweight woman with 3 chins trying on this
gift......a tight spandex turtleneck in what could only be called sh*t
brindle brown. Said woman tossed it back to her and told her to take it
back......of course she couldn't cuz discount store sales are final.
LOL.
OTOH, she got mad at me when I went to the dollar store the next year and
bought all of her stuff there and wrapped it in newspaper.....ROFL!!
Yelled at me, in fact. Heh heh......I loved it. But she still didn't get
the hint.
Sisters.......take mine please!!
HF (of course, I don't know the overweight woman..cough....but we all get
a good giggle out of that Xmas)
