I agree, it’s not about the price of the gift. But it also has to do with how the receiver behaves when they get such a gift. For example, if someone spends hours making a bracelet and the receiver gets it and acts like they like it but when they leave they don’t even bother to take the bracelet with them when they go home…after a while people just stop giving. Or at least stop making stuff for that person.

No, I do not feel comfortable around all of them. I generally try to find something that’s acceptable. My family generally has more money than I do, and have everything they want, plus half my in-laws shun us because we are a same-sex couple. No small children are left to delight, just social obligation.

As the car in front of you passes a static object on the side of the road (like a telephone pole) count how many seconds it takes you to reach that same object in your vehicle. That’s how much time you have to respond if the car in front came to a dead stop (like from a head on collision). Give minimum 3 seconds. This assumes you’re going roughly the same speed.
