Is there someone that you have to buy for but you don't really care to? Me that would be my sister in law, I don't particularly like her. She doesn't appreciate anything, and perfers to buy no one presents. She doesn't understand why my brother wants to buy us presents, because she doesn't get her family members anything. I know Christmas isn't about presents, but it is nice to buy things for people that you care about. I like buying my family presents, because it's a chance to show they how much I care. I like buying things for people knowing that they really will enjoy it.
SO I don't know what to get her, because every year I buy her something nice like bath soaps or candles and she never takes it out of the box.

don't buy her anything and when she complains about not getting anything explain that she can't expect to get through life without ever giving someone else something because people usually love to buy stuff for other people...she seems rather snooty to me, just from what you've said

I have a lot of issues when it comes to her. I just don't want to make a big deal about it, and have it bother my brother. It's not worth it. I really don't spend much money on her, because I know it goes unappreciated. I'm think of getting my brother a present, and then instead of giving her a present give them a gift certificate to eat somewhere. This way I am getting her something, but it benefits my brother too.

that'd be a good idea because it appears you're caring about both of them, so it doesn't make you feel bad or anything.
