Went to a family reunion, DHs family. He had this really old aunt who brought gifts for every one. All of the boxes were identical little square white boxes tied with a ribbon. The ones to her blood relatives had a little gift of something she had had forever, like a little piece of jewelry or a little keepsake box. The ones to the inlaws had nothing. I asked my BIL what we should do. He said maybe she couldn't afford to really have a gift for everyone and just trusted us to have the good manners to not say anything about the box being empty.
