What would you do?
How would you feel, and how would you behave, if you spent a lot of your time and energy, plus a significant amount of money (about $150) buying a long time close friend a birthday gift you really thought the friend would like and your friend indicated by a frown and a mildly insulting remark that she didn't like the gift and she didn't even thank you for it? My father taught me that "It's the thought that counts" and therefore any gift deserves a thank you.
This was about 3 years ago. I haven't given her any gifts, birthday or otherwise, since then though I have sent cards. Maybe I should ask her to give it back to me and then sell it and buy her something she would like (I could ask her what she would've wanted). Any ideas?
Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?
