But, coming from a family where we all suck at gifts, it is somewhat relatable. It is unbelievable how difficult and anxiety-provoking gift buying can be for some people, and caring more about someone only makes it harder. In the end one could land on something awful and last minute after worrying about it for months, and it seems like one simply doesn’t care.
I of course don’t know this specific situation, and it is indeed a particularly bad gift considering your allergy. But don’t read it as a sign that they don’t care - it could be that they care quite a lot, and that it’s a case of something else entirely.
That absolutely sucks.
