Seriously, if you get a crappy gift, do you think "it's the thought that counts"?

It is unless the gift is something they clearly picked up because they didn't want to waste time thinking about it. IE: my nephew's mother gave him a toy from a McDonald's Happy Meal for his Christmas gift last year. Now THAT was insulting on more levels than you can imagine! (drug addict. Didn't want to spend the time or the money. He's being raised by my brother now and you can be darned tootin' he's getting a ROCKIN christmas this year!)

Yes, the thought counts. I have friends that will spend 200-300 dollars on a gift and there are others that might give me a card.
I love each and every thing I get! Some of the best gifts are even home made!!!

For me, it really is the thought that counts. There have been many years when I was all alone & had no family or friends. The holidays were nothing but another day to me & it is wonderful to receive any kind of gift. What I might think is 'crappy' might just be a present that the giver thought was super....or it might just be all that they could afford to give....and that makes it special.

yes it really is the thought that counts. who ever got you the crappy gift didnt have to waste time getting it but they did so they care and were thinking of you on some level. any gift is better then no gift.

Yes. I keep getting sweaters and drinking glasses for gifts.. I have for years. It's to the point where I'm starting to think that it's a joke. Now I know what the gift is before I even open it, but I'm polite and happy to be acknowledged. I have every glass known to man and closets full of sweaters.

yes, because they got you a gift that they thought you would like, so, it is the thought that counts

I think so. If you didnt get a gift at all would you be disappointed?
