You OP are a complete ASS. How about being grateful that your Father and Uncle managed to send your family gifts at all.

Perhaps this is what he can afford. Many people don't like giving giftcards because they can't afford a nice sized one, they feel that they can stretch their money more by buying presents themselves. Plus it makes them feel bad giving a small giftcards. And gift cards feel very impersonal.

Perhaps harbor freight is one if the few stores available for your father to shop. Maybe he needs to rely in someone else to drive him. Maybe he's a MAN who doesn't know other places to shop, or find bargains.

You sound like a pretentious, ungrateful, snob. Maybe he simply doesn't know what to buy for you. Most people don't enjoy buying for people like you anyways, I would probably purposefully make it look like I thought I got you a great gift while giving you something you are bound to hate sply to make you squirm. Hmmmmm, maybe that's what your Dad did!

How much did he have to spend on shipping? Why weren't you celebrating WITH him, then maybe he'd know more about your kids tastes.

BTW, what did your family send your Dad and Uncle?!
