"I have a friend from childhood who is a wealthy, narcissistic hoarder. This means she spends all her time buying needless crap from the bargain bins of every box store you can imagine. For example, she'll buy several blenders just because they are on sale, not because she needs one. Her house is filled with this junk. I have politely mentioned therapy, but that just gets radio silence."
"These presents are always worthless junk she has purchased plastic kitsch, novelty sticky notepads, paper napkins with idiotic sayings on them, graph paper, plastic toothpicks that look like toilet plungers (twice I've received a box of those), random computer connection cords, and more. She just paid $36 to mail me a Christmas gift containing this junk, all of which I would value at a total of $10 at best."
A childhood friend who hoards buys excessive, unnecessary items and sends them as gifts, often of very low value. The recipient receives novelty and disposable items such as plastic kitsch, sticky notepads, odd cords, and novelty toothpicks, and often discards most of them. The recipient has asked the friend not to send gifts and has reduced expressions of thanks, yet the deliveries continue. The main concerns are annoyance, waste, and the feeling that the gifts serve the sender's emotional needs rather than genuine giving. The recipient is considering more direct measures to stop the shipments.
