Mrs. Maria Shelton MD+FollowWhen birthday gifts feel more like an afterthoughtA birthday is supposed to make a kid feel special, but imagine your child opening a crumpled thrift store bag instead of a wrapped present—especially when the money for the gift was meant just for him. That’s what happened to one mom, who was shocked when her brother used their dad’s $200 gift money to buy thrifted clothes, handed over unwrapped, and then his wife demanded reimbursement when the gift was rejected. The real issue isn’t about thrifted items—it’s about effort, intention, and making someone feel valued.
