I don't expect anyone to buy me a gift from anywhere.  If someone gives me something from the Dollar store.....

I would acknowledge the fact that....

it's the thought that counts.    :heart:

Honestly, no it's not the price it's the thought.

I think my granny does this with me, hahah. I don't care, she picks out cute things and I don't think too much of Christmas anyway so it's not any kind of big deal. :)

Actually we do that every year with co-workers.  Gift must be purchased at a dollar store, but we have a maximum spending limit of $2.00.

As for me, really doesn't matter. Not expecting to receive any type of gift. With a 12 year old and a 5  year old - that is my gift on Christmas Morning - seeing smiles on their face opening gifts from Santa. ;-)

I think this is a marvelous idea for co-workers.  It would take the stress off of people's budget because they know they don't have to spend a great deal....they can concentrate on sharing good will with their co-workers.   

A $2 limit could be difficult OR it could make for some creative shopping!

No I think it a good as any other store and it only takes one dollar to pay for it .

I would appreciate any gift given to me. It would not matter if it came from the Dollar Store.


Also, some things in a Dollar Store cost more than one dollar.

i have a pretty good sized family, and every year we play a christmas eve game and we do a gift swap, but it cant be more expensive than 5$.. i know my whole family uses the dollar store lol i bought 5 things from the dollar store this year for my little 5$ gift haha but every year everyone loves the stuff they get. and sometimes especially around the holidays the dollar store has neat stuff!! So no, I dont think anyone should mind :)

To me, a present's a present.
I don't think it matters where it was bought. :)

The dollar stores have fun stuff.  I'm not too good for dollar store items.  I like that co-worker idea.  You could throw a fun party with a dollar store gift exchange.  Anything to spread JOY.  :party: :present:

Post by: aflyingmonkey on December 09, 2014, 02:12:41 pm
Sometimes there are things at the dollar store that are worth considerably more than a dollar, but are overstock or close to the expiration date from "regular" stores.   Like right now, they have ReBody PreWorkout pills that usually sell for $29.99, that would be a great gift if you/they workout.   :)

Me personally would not care. It's the thought that counts. But I would prefer no one spend money on me. I love the homemade  gifts that don't cost a dime.

Post by: pkrahmer on December 09, 2014, 02:37:03 pm
It wouldn't matter to me because they took the time to find something for me.  particularly if they thought It was something I nneded or wanted :peace: :santa: :santa: :wave:
Title: Re: Would you care/Christmas Gift
Post by: bigfoot951 on December 09, 2014, 05:04:01 pm
No.  I would think it would have some type of sentimental value and I bet there are a lot of people who buy stocking stuffers there.

It's the thought that counts, so it doesn't matter where it comes from, as long as it comes from the heart!!!

I am just happy they thought of me. I have bought gifts at the dollar store myself to give to others

The thought is what counts. I have had some neat gifts from the dollar store, some were made even cuter by the children.  Now all of my nieces and nephews are growing up so much and I have ask them to use their money on the things they need as I have no more room for their presious gifts.

Post by: natashaspy on December 10, 2014, 02:14:10 pm
Not at all...I'm a firm believer of the thought that counts.  If someone takes time to get me something from anywhere, regardless of cost, I'm appreciative of being thought of!

Would you care if someone bought you a Christmas present from the Dollar store?

Probably not. It would likely depend on the situation, but for the most part I don't expect people to get me gifts so anything I receive is appreciated.

Post by: Screwedupclick4life337 on December 15, 2014, 04:47:53 am
Not really I was raised to accept it anyway cause some people aren't fortunate to get expensive gifts it's the thought that counts for me

   A gift is a gift, you can find some really clever gifts at the dollar or 99 Cent store.   I find a lot of stocking stuffers there.

I would if I knew that person has the money to actually afford at least $5.00. If I know that person can't afford anything I would be grateful that they thought of me.

It doesn't matter to me where's the gift bought. What's matter to me he/she took time to get me something.

I got a few people a little Christmas metal box from the Dollar Tree & rolled up a coordinating pair of warm, fuzzy socks.  Also nail polish, hand lotion, and some candy.  It made a cute gift for $5.  I also got alot of neat stocking stuffers there.  It wouldn't bother me to get a gift from there, it's the thought that counts.

I wouldn't care. It is the thought that counts. Sometimes you can find some pretty good stuff. I got the cutest scarf from Family Dollar the other day. I wished there had been more than one b/c I wanted to buy a second one for my friend at work.

If they are buying it from the Dollar Store then you probably know what their financial situation is then, but if they can afford a better gift because they actually have a good financial situation, just assume it is a joke gift or stocking stuffer. :silly:  Also everything at the Dollar Store is NOT a dollar or less 8) :peace:

If it was a gift that thought had been put into I wouldn't care where it came from.

i really could care less if they bought me a gift from the dollar store.  it is the thought that matter after all and just because it came from a dollar store doesnt mean that its not any good.

If it's all you can afford then it shouldn't matter.

Post by: kapeh12 on December 30, 2014, 09:17:16 am
As long as the gift was selected with an appropriate motivation, I'd be happy to accept it.  (meaning if the purpose of the gift was a white elephant gift, or if it was something the person thought I'd get a laugh out of, or a "serious" gift and it was all the person could afford to spend - not that I expect anyone to spend anything on me...)  It the intention was to select something cheap as a spiteful gift - then I wouldn't be too happy to receive it - not due to where the gift was purchased, but the intention behind it was spite, not the spirit of giving.

I love going to the dollar store and looking around and seeing what treasure I can get so I would be fine with a gift from the dollar store.
