I feel badly for not liking things that people give me (or us), but man. Quadro's boss goes to a store called "Flights of Fancy". It's really really not our style. It's very fussy-looking to me... turkey shaped salt and pepper shakers... a cut glass bowl - but it's all squares and stippled and weird looking... a wreath-shaped veggies-and-dip thingie... And there was the aunt who gave us the floral glass picture frame - that thing was HUGE!

*sigh*

I just think it's a bad idea to buy housy things for people whose house you've never seen. It's not that they're bad presents, they're just bad presents for me.

Quadro does a great job on gifts, thank goodness. It's his extended family we need to work on!

Edit: One, one funny one... I was at college, trying to furnish a house, so one year my mom got me a microwave oven. Pretty great, yes? She felt bad that it was my only package that year (money being tight) so she also got me a box of Ramen. Heh. To be fair, I was eating a lot of ramen, but still! Very funny.
