I find this thread interesting . If someone responded that way to me it would be the last gift they got from me. I give gifts because I want the recipient to have the item. It’s nice to get positive feedback and thanks but it’s not my reason for giving.
I have always hated showers. The new idea of displaying the gifts allowing the mom/bride to be mingle with the guests appeals to me.
