This was not a handmade wreath. My friend purchased it at Michael’s. I didn’t want to say, “This is white trash stuff.
CMcG, a point about the above. It wouldn’t matter to me where a friend of mine purchased a gift. Michael’s isn’t a thrift store, they have some nice stuff in there. I’ve gotten a lot of cute, whimsical things at bargain stores. Just becuase it costs more doesn’t mean it’s worth more. If I were your friend and I knew your position on that, I’d be hurt.
The one exception would be thrift stores. I don’t shop at them, and I don’t feel it’s appropriate to purchase someone a gift from a store that sells used items. That is what I’d consider trash, not something from Michael’s.
