Get her a book from the self-help section about gratitude.
wow idk i never had someone do that to me if they did i prob wouldnt get them anything or just a gift card idk thats hard wow thats mean of her i would never do that to my daughter
I think that you and your sister, although with good intentions, may have fed into her spoiled attitude by continuing to try and appease her. Obviously, she’s going to make a comment about whatever you get her, no matter how amazing or expensive.
The best advice I can offer is get something moderately priced and thoughtful. Take a pic of you and your sis and get it framed or write her a poem. If she complains about it in some way, tell her that money (or whatever issue she takes with it) is not what Christmas is all about. Sometimes, you just have to assert the moral high ground, and then refuse to discuss it anymore.
If that doesn’t appeal or work for you, buy something and tape the price tag to the top or put it inside the card. This way, she can just return it. I think that you need to let go of trying to win her over with material things and just accept that she’s going to be unpleasant about gifts. You and your sister can always resolve to stop getting gifts for her and do something else like cards or some sort of recognition. If she inquires, simply tell her exactly how you feel. Sometimes, the truth is the best weapon of defense.
Get her a gift certificate to a therapist!
if she’s not grateful for anything then dont get her anything expensive.
Get her some socks…..and if she complains just reply ‘everybody needs socks’…..and its true lol
a card and some chocolate
with a note saying merry christmas
make her something. its cheap and if she starts moaning you can make her feel guilty. i suggest chocolates. i would ask her why shes being like this also maybe if she realised that you put thought into what you get her she would be a little more grateful in future. oh and this comment
"And it catches the light. It was really pretty and it said something about mothers. I got it at halmark and it wasn’t again cheap. Well she asked me if i got it at the grocery store. And i said no. It even came in a halmark box why would she ask if i got it at the grocery store. And then she said oh i saw some like these at the grocery store for 5 dollars" warranted a no but i know where to get your present from next time.
