I get on quite well with my ex-wife now, but a few years ago I bought her a hand made clothes peg basket at x-mas time.
'No thanks', she said, 'the one I've got now is just fine.'
Must have been too soon, but I was really taken back by it.
I had expectations of a peaceful way forward between the two of us, but she obviously wasn't ready.
We don't do gifts now, but we often exchange books we've enjoyed, so that's good enough for me. :-)
