then they're not gifts, are they? look up 'gift' in the dictionary. it doesn't say "something you give away so the recipient will feel like she/he has to feel guilty about receiving it, or feel like he/she has to do something in exchange". that's a bunch of hooey, as my gift-giving fil would say.

My MIL is gone now but I still have gifts that have strings.
