Every year we send her kids nice toys for Christmas, nothing extravagant, just fun stuff because we believe that Christmas is for kids. Every year she sends me a little box of junk you can buy at a dollar store. This year we received a small box full of japanese snacks. We are not japanese, nor do we like japanese snacks. She didnt even wrap them nor put a card inside, nothing. Just a box with like .99 snacks inside and a beat up frame, which she probably purchased at the dollar store with the pictures of her kids. (which by the way are the same pictures we got last year).
Now hear me, she is not hurting for money. She owns a restaurant and has a nice house and she is well off. So why these crappy gifts?
My question is..should I stop sending her kids nice toys and spend as much as she spends on us? or should I talk to her? and if I do, how do I tactfully ask her to please stop sending us these crappy gifts that will end up in the trash anyway.
