She does the same thing to my SIL. The only gifts she ever really likes come from her daughters. Even when my husband suggests a gift she is polite but after we leave makes snotty comments. Since money is very tight this year, I have opted for making handmade crocheted rugs (known as rag rugs). They are beautiful & very heavy plus after making a couple of them for less than $5 my neighbor wanted to buy them & offered me $45 a piece for them. I said sure & sold them. While I could use that money to buy her a nice gift, I figure that it will still be laughed at - even though she is not weathly she does not have extra bills to pay so she is somewhere in the middle for people her age. Therefore, would a handmade rug (made to match her home) be okay? She does live in the country & her entire home is done in a country theme. I'm just tired of spending money on gifts for her. Like I said, the only gifts that are not made fun of would be the ones from her daughters. Any suggestions?
