Gift-giving can be a delightful, yet difficult, tradition. How do you choose the perfect present? And how should you react to a truly terrible one?
With the holiday season approaching, 11 readers shared their experiences. Their advice is confusing. One person says, "Don’t just give something that appeals to you." Another insists, "Always gift something you want."
The best gifts were meaningful and personal. The worst were strange or offensive. One reader even received a preserved bat's head.
Their stories show there is no single rule for gift-giving. What brings joy to one person may horrify another.
