For me the point IF I am going to give a gift is something meaningful. I have a ceramic wall clock in my kitchen that was a wedding gift from some dear friends. I am sure they didn't spend over $25 25 years ago. It's beautiful, keeps the time, and it's always in the back of my mind who gave it to me with good thoughts.

Then there's the silverplate chafing dish up in the cupboard above the fridge, can't even remember which relative that came from.
