Expensive gifts from relatives, fair or unfair?

Other people getting stuff shouldn’t bother you, as long as they aren’t getting it from your pocket.
If someone expects you to send a gift, just say no.

That said I am waiting for my Dad to buy me these sneakers. Just don’t wanna spend my own cash. Hope he doesn’t say NO.

Don’t you think it’s different if your dad buys you something as compared to your aunts and uncles?

And usually, other people getting gifts doesn’t bother me at all. But I see people literally ordering their relatives to buy them stuff… “Oh, you’re visiting Pakistan next month? Get me an iPad”. Personally, I would be ashamed to ask for such expensive gifts, esp as I’m earning myself.
