Payne I can relate to this. My mother was the same way about selecting gifts. But I think mine just couldn't buy anything she didn't like herself. Everything she ever bought as a gift was her taste. She couldn't just buy something someone put on a list or mentioned they would like to have. I grew-up with this unwritten rule. So I excepted that nothing I ever got from her....ever....would be my choice. The problem was when my children were asked (yes she even asked for my kid's Christmas lists) but never bought anything from the list! Lol It became a big joke with my kids that when Grandma asked for their list....they purposely did not write what they wanted...that way they'd have a better chance of getting it. Lol
Thank God, most stores have pretty easy exchange policies.
