I like any gifts people give me!! I give homemade treats all the time. If people don't want to eat it that is their problem! Last year all the teachers really seemed to appreciate my candies

I don't like to receive them but only because I have issues. Dh says I have some type of OCD. It keeps getting worse the older I get. I can eat out but only if the restaurant meets my cleanliness standards adn then I have to find something to keep my mind off of the kitchen.

But dh doesn't mind at all when I receive food for gifts, because he knows they are his!

I do, as long as I know the person. I get the heebie geebies sometimes at potlucks and etc when I think of some people's kitchens.

I love homemade gifts. I would rather have them over purchased gifts anyday. Unfortunatly, I am not that crafty of a person myself.

I have issues. I don't like any consumable gift. I like saving stuff forever, I don't want to use it. Even candles I've been given as gifts I have a hard time lighting them. I will eat/use the gifts, it's just hard for me.

Hey, I said I had issues...

I LOVE consumable gifts. No clutter!

But I have to know who made it. If someone bought something at a bake sale, I can't eat it and I can't eat at big pot luck events where I don't know who made what. I think we all have a little OCD in us that that's where mine crops up.
