Yes, you can cry over gag gifts. My grandmother for years asked for a charm bracelet. My grandfather, a farmer knew that he could not afford one. One year he decided it was enough and she was gonna get that charm bracelet no matter what. So, Papa went out to his work shed, found some electrical wire, nuts, and washers. He painted them all wonderful colors in all the kids birthstone colors. He strung them on that wire, put it in a jewelry box, and wrapped it up. Christmas morning after all of us were done with our gifts he gave the box to Meme. She opened it looked at Papa kinda strange. He then explained, I know how much you have been wanting that charm bracelet but I just cant afford it now, so I gave the closest thing I could. Meme then looked at Papa and said its perfect and began to cry. She still has that bracelet and wears it when she is feeling all mushy and such. So, it goes to show, you can in fact cry over a gag gift.
