We all get the odd gift that we really don’t want when it comes to Christmas. Someone will pick up something so obscure or something so silly and you have to just grin and bear it so as not to hurt their feelings. The people over at Slotfruit have created a comical infographic with their take on the 5 stages of not getting what you want (come on, we’ve all wished for that designer handbag/diamond ring/pony and not got it before, right?) and I’m sharing it with you today:
Do you ever go through these five stages? I have done in the past – and then felt foolish when my real present turned up (albeit after Christmas as it had been delayed) and it was exactly what I wanted! What can I say, Steve is a very good actor!
I try to be considerate when gift giving, choosing something that they’ve told me they want or referenced in passing conversation and I’ve remembered closer to the festive season. Hopefully none of the people who have ever received gifts from me have gone through this because of my gift but I would never know, would I? Like me they would probably put on a brave face and be polite about it. Oops
What’s the worst present you’ve ever received/one present you wanted that you never got?
