Not all gifts are created equal, and the same goes for the little rules built up in our minds about gift giving.
Some gift giving etiquette is simple common sense and kindness; for the rest, it’s true that it’s the thought that counts.
Let’s take a look at seven gift giving fallacies that you should completely and totally ignore.
What do you bring to a funeral? What is an appropriate gift for a funeral or memorial service? Are you supposed to bring a gift, or should you even consider it?
This topic is a bit of a downer, but these are important funeral gift etiquette questions that, sadly, get asked quite often.
I was a customer service specialist for a cremation urn and memorial gift company for over ten years. In that time, I personally spoke on the phone to many customers who had these very questions, so I have become quite familiar with the topic.

We love Christmas so much at our house. All the traditions, all the decorations, all the presents.
Even the cheesy parts, like schmaltzy Christmas music and drinking hot cocoa by the fire.
We love watching Home Alone and The Santa Clause, wearing Santa hats and listening to someone read A Christmas Carol (even if it’s just the Disney picture book version with Mickey Mouse).
