A close relative does not believe in gift giving, rejects the notion of accepting useless gifts and gives very little. She believes that gift giving is superficial and unnecessary, but frustrates all those around her who attempt to bring her gifts. Is it so much to ask for her to express gratitude rather than repulsion when accepting a gift? I wanted to share with her literature on the flow of giving and receiving, but can't remember where I had read it.
