Dear Queenie,
My sister keeps suggesting that she will share the cost of buying someone a gift. I think it’s just because she doesn’t want all the bother of shopping for a gift, wrapping it, getting a card and then sending or delivering it.
Queenie, what’s a polite way to refuse to go in together on a gift?—Annoyed brother
Dear Brother,
Try to shop for the gift before your sister approaches you about it, and then tell her you have already purchased the gift. You can also give her a suggestion as to what gift she might want to give the person.
