You'll be fine as long as she swipes left on you.

If not just play it off as you were being funny about how awkward it is. I dunno you can make it work man. Or just unmatch as soon as she swipes right too. Many options.

for christmas, my sister got me an amazon gift card. i opened it, thanked her, then quickly realized that the gift i got her - ALSO an amazon gift card - was for twice as much, and she had yet to open it. obviously, if she opens it, it's pretty awkward.

i think i handled it brilliantly. what would you have done?

Did you give her the gift card she gave you?

didn't consider that an option. would have been the quickest most insulting regift in history.

Even when the main gift is a gift card, I always try to include something else so there isn't such an exact price tag on it

slobber · « **Reply #211 on:** January 18, 2015, 03:54:04 PM »

so how did you handle it?

so how did you handle it?

took her gift card to my room, stuffed it in a bag, opened up laptop, went to StubHub.com, sent her an online gift card that was wirelessly delivered at a specific time, came back down stairs, told her that her gift "should arrive any minute now," it did, she was pleased, and likely headed to a Syracuse hoops game (we're from NY) any week now.

meanwhile, i kept the Amazon gift card for myself.

i think i handled that well given the "awkward social situation" i was presented with.

J rake decided it was awkward to give his sister a gift card for an amount significantly larger than the one she just gave him. So he decided to get her another gift of what I assume was equal value to her gift without her knowing.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #219 on:** January 18, 2015, 08:15:06 PM »

he opened his sisters gift to him which was a card for x dollars. his sister had not yet opened his gift to her which was the same card for 2x. he snatched up the gift for his sister and hid it so she couldn't open it and instead sent her a email gift card or something for a similar amount she gave him.

not that confusing

CNS · « **Reply #220 on:** January 18, 2015, 08:20:48 PM »

If he had time to run away and eshop, he should have just replaced his card with her card. Boom! Same money.

slobber · « **Reply #221 on:** January 18, 2015, 08:22:12 PM »

J, she's your sister. Buy her something that is not a gift card.

Gonna win 'em all!

My bro's and I all get together with our wives for a nice dinner rather than buying each other something. Experiences are worth more than the $50 nothing you would end up getting them anyway.

this is how all of christmas should be, but that's for another thread
