My first Christmas with my husband-now ex-the only gift I got was an electric frypan. I almost cried. Used that pan forever, even when it had only 3 legs but guess I never forgave him for that impersonal gift. That was 50 years ago, but it made me try even more to always give a gift that the receiver wanted-not what they needed. Now I would love another frypan but then I wanted something personal.
