"A gift isn't a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things." -- Oprah Winfrey

I agree, I love giving people that I love pressies!! Yay!

My mother used to buy me things as a child because she felt so guilty about how abusive she was to me. It definately changed who I was as a child. Now I am very aware of the significance that I attach to gifts, often people just give one things to cover up their guilt or shame or too avoid responsibility. My drug addict ex was like that.
