My brother said he was going out shopping for himself right after my dad and I got home from Christmas shopping when I was like 9-10, probably younger. I told him to be careful and not buy something big like a TV, and I kept emphasizing TV.

My dad stopped bringing me Christmas shopping after that year.

We got him a TV. Though he did gift that same TV to me a couple years later when he got a new one.

So he was just gritting his teeth and baring it for those couple of years

He did actually want a TV since he didn't have one for his playstation. I worried he'd just buy himself one before we got the chance to gift him it. When he bought his new one a few years later, he found out I didn't have a TV for mine and gifted me it instead of tossing it.

Didn't mean that kind of regifting, but it sounds funnier with that interpretation.

Imagine if he came home and found you swallowing the TV whole. That would’ve certainly ruined Christmas for everyone!
