Good gift giving is a skill that not everybody has the money, time, and resources for. I've certainly been guilty of adding my name to a card at the celebration of an acquaintance, and I know I'm not alone. However, when it comes to those I'm close to I will always try to make an effort. Consumerism aside, presents can be an important way of showing affection.
This makes it extra annoying to be around people who don't want to pull their weight when it comes to giving gifts. This was the case for one Redditor, who became sick of their sister-in-law's habit of swapping tags whenever there was a family get-together that involved exchanging presents. When their nephew's 13th birthday rolled around, it was decided that this woman was going to be taught a lesson about her thieving ways. It's fair to say that the gift she 'bought' her son that year left a lot to be desired.
