So my idea for Christmas presents for the skids, well originally, I planned a gift card and candies. I decided last minute, actually in the parking lot of walmart to get was bedsheets for them. They only have one color, and that's the only one they have since we moved in the house together. I got them a neutral grey. 

With the gift of a giftcard and candies, it felt as almost I was going to waste my money on them. And me buying them bedsheets was definitely something they needed and wasn't as expensive. I felt comfortable.  

Well come Christmas morning. The two older skids (17/18sd and 15ss) got their brothers and dad gifts, but not for their little half-sister.  

The reaction of them getting gifts from me, there was no postive reaction from them at all. SS(11) said, "what's is this?!" I replied, they're bedsheets. And he looked puzzled and disgust at the gift. And my SO didn't say anything to me, no thank you for buying them gifts whatsoever.  So I tried. I'm sure if I didn't get them anything, he most definitely would've say something to me.
