What do you do when you know someone has a gift for you, but you didn't buy anything for them?
Awkward? Or.. not a big deal?
Do you get something for that person?

i usually get something for that person. i think i have too much of a sense of equality and feel too bad if i don't get them anything.

If I knew someone had bought something for me, I would buy something for them. Family of 4? Maybe a bottle of wine for the parents?

@chopsuey119: a gift for the family for sure. how about a board game the whole family can play?

I would definitely feel guilty and gift them back.

I'd gift something back. If I didn't know until they actually gave me the gift, I would lie and say I forgot their gift.
What about a fruit basket, or edible bouquet.

I hate it when that happens because I feel bad for not having thought of them. I would definitely get them something. I love the idea of the board game.

Okay was looking at board games, but they're a Korean family that aren't really into board games. I could see the girls playing, but not so much the parents.
They all LOVE Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes, so I ordered and sent out a gift card to the family. Thinking of maybe sending a board game as well for the girls to play!

For that reason I always try to have a stock pile of wrapped gifts (I put a sticky note to remember what it is). That didn't work well this year..

Get them something! we went to DH's Christmas party at work, and his coworkers got us something, but we didn't get them anything! I wanted to crawl under the table!
