I just don't talk to them.
Last time they contacted us, they sent us pictures of the house my mother grew up in.
Yep, here's the front of the house. The side of the house. The back yard. The bedroom. The back of someone's head. The driveway. A gun with no possible self-defensive purpose. The OTHER bedroom. THe basement. The kitchen cabinets. The toilet. Yes, they even sent us a picture of the toilet. And that's not even half of the mundane images they sent.
Biggest, "The hell...?" moment of the year, right there.

Vouchers are a good one. Especially vouchers for a shop you KNOW they'll never go into ever.
So not talking to them is a good'un for prevention of requiring a crap present to be purchased in the first case.
I should be rather grateful that I've never had any such obscure old-house-rooms-picture-assault before from any distant relatives, mainly because I don't pass on my address to them, which may result in some poor sod STILL getting random crap at my old Uni residence.Erana said:

I actually only buy gifts for my immediate family. Generally, each family gets each of the young kids something, but beside that, it's just one gift per family. Since there are only three families, and everyone else either lives in Ontario or is dead, it's not that big of a deal.
well, if i dont like someone i generally feel no need to be polite. i dont speak to them unless forced and its generally something along the lines of... well actually i just go for a nice cold stare unless forced, then i ask for a script and make it very clear that i do not wish to say any of it and that the words are not mine. if they arent worth caring about, they probably arent worth the effort.
Ohh...I like getting socks. Nothing like the feel of a nice, new pair of socks.Nikita89 said:
Sweet.
On topic: The best is to get them a gift card with such a small value, that it's practically worthless. Like $10 at future shop. $10 isn't going to get you anything, except a 10 year old movie (That sucks), or batteries.
It's the ultimate insult, because for them to 'enjoy' your gift, that have to spend their OWN money. Suckers!
