Today, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. FML

Today, my mother-in-law got me a pair of $2 socks for my birthday. Usually, I don't care… until I found out she got my husband's friend, not even best friend, a $100 gift card, and offered him her free hotel room at the casinos. This is the fifth holiday in a row I've received gifts under $10. FML

Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. FML

Today, I received the Christmas gift I bought for my sister in the mail. I also received a nearly $200 bill for shipping fees, taxes, etc. for a $50 blanket from Canada. FML

Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML

Today, I went out to see my uncle on my mom’s side and his family for my mom’s birthday. My oldest cousin insisted that he and his wife give their gift first. It was a stuffed bear, along with the news that they’re expecting their first kid, and making my mom a great-aunt. My gift was a cake she used to make. FML

Today, I found out that when my parents said they couldn't afford gifts for us kids, what they really meant was that they weren't buying a gift for me. I found this out when I overheard my father telling my uncle about the things he got my siblings. FML

Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML

Today, I gave over $100 to my online friend in presents for Christmas, only to find out he can't use any because of his strict parents. FML

Today, I found out where a few of my favorite outfits went. My mother had taken them out of my closet, wrapped them, and given them to my cousin as a gift. FML

Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML

How did your uncle even get your clothes you bought?

This takes the idea of re-gifting to a whole new level...

I don't understand why people do this, except for maybe as a prank. If you can't afford something, just make a gift or don't buy anything. Do they think you'll not notice your own stuff?

Wait... Did he regift you your own clothes? Or did he buy you identical clothing?

That's the real question. If they were identical then it wouldn't be as bad but if it was her clothes then that's just creepy.

FML wording a little confusing. Did he re-gift you your clothes or get identical ones? I feel it could be the former but then again why would your uncle have access to 80$ worth of your clothes?

Ah, first-world problems. I feel for you. Maybe donate to someone less fortunate who actually doesn't even have $80 to buy any clothes at all? No? Right...Christmas was all about our own selfish ways...

It's not a "first world problem" if her uncle stole her clothes and then gave them back to her pretending his bought them? It's just called her uncle being a dick.

That's... creepy.

That is creepy no matter how you word it. 1. If he got you the same clothes, then how would he know what you would wear and your size. It also depends on what clothes that would be (pants, shirts, underwear, etc.). 2. If he took your clothes and then wrapped them, it is creepy he is going through your drawers/closet. Men just don't go through girls clothes for that purpose. I find something else is creepy going on.

Similar happened to me. Gifts my brother gave me was 2 of my beers and a DVD I got black Friday along with a phone case he did not need anymore (and not one I can use) all wrapped up. Also the only things he ended up getting me.
