how to cure ungrateful gift recievers?

Make a donation to a charity in their name. They can't complain about the size, color or wrapping because they'll look like the gargoyles they are.

Stop giving them gifts. If they say anything, say something like "hey, I know you were having trouble figuring out what to do with all the useless stuff I have given you before so I thought I'd give you a break this year." My niece used to be like that. She made a nasty comment about a gift I gave her when she was about 10. She is almost 20 now and is yet to get another gift from me.

To put it bluntly, 'DON'T BUY THEM ANYTHING".

I went through the same thing a few years back, most specifically with a cousin of mine.

It seemed no matter how hard I tried to give her the perfect gift,

she was never satisfied, and she was the one who told me what she'd like to have, so thats what I bought.

Needless to say, I decided to 'not' buy her anything and when she asked me 'why' I'd forgotten to give her a birthday gift' I

simply told her when she becomes less hard to please and more appreciative of what she gets, then, and only then will I buy her something. We never spoke for about four months, but finally

she called me and oppologized for her attitude.

My daughter started doing the same thing, and I told her what

I told my cousin and haven't bought her anything for her b-day

nor have I got her anything for christmas this year.

Seems harsh to some? Tough!!!

YOU have to make a stand, and refuse to be treated with

such inconsideration and ungratefulness..

Take it back and say nothing more about it. Don't offer to get them something else. I know its cliche but its the thought that counts and they shouldn't be requesting gifts anyway (unless they are a child)

You should make a donation in their name to The Human Fund. If that's not enough, invite them over to your place for the Celebration of Festivis and the Feats of Strength

Some people are just really ungracious gift recievers. It sucks, but they are out there. My inlaws are that way. One of my sisters too. I can surprise her with a wonderful gift I know she really needs. She'll look at it, take it and nod and say, "oh, ok."

I just don't get those people!!!

Father Christmas give me some money... Try gift cards or a lump of coal.

Stop giving them gifts.

If you don't think it's tacky, give them a girft card or just regular cash. Hey, you don't like your present, go buy your own.

by giving better gifts. give them gift certificates instead.
