Gifts are just that, "gifts", from the heart!!!! At the age I have reached, when someone sends me a gift, I am rarely disappointed, anyway, just grateful that someone acknowledged the event, whether it be a birthday or Christmas, whatever.
Open it, with joy, and know that the person did for you what they thought was most appropriate!
Heck, I have a birthday coming in a few days. What I have received so far was 1) a bulldozer coming and preparing my lawn for grass (woo hoo!!!!!), 2) Just today, a card saying a donation had been made, in my honor, to Noah's Wish, to help the pets in peril after Katrina (again, "woo hoo", and many thanks", and 3) My dear husband bought two stadium seats, complete with "arms", for us to endure those volleyball games for night after night. A multitude of "gifts", but all ones that I treasure, because I know they were meant to make me happy.
Just my thoughts.
