It really is the thought that counts. It's so painfully adamant how much love and effort went into the creation of a gift, even when it's purchased, there's still the aspect of "selection" to account for.

There's nothing in this world I despise more than cheapness.

You've said that many times before about cheapness :giggle:

I have a feeling it's your number one annoyance :P

It's not an annoyance, it's a deep hatred. Probably the only thing I hate and despise beyond all reckoning :lol:

Hahaha - did your first boyfriend give you a bulb instead of a bunch of flowers as a kid or something? :P

No, it's nothing to do with that :P

It's more of an every day occurrence, things I notice that just IRK, so aggravatingly... For example listening in on a conversation that basically runs as thus:

"I don't really like this soda however it's cheaper so I might as well get that."




Wouldn't you just as soon drink something that you actually enjoy? :|



It's... hard to iterate. There's a fine yet very prominent line differentiating "cheap" from "savvy".

I kinda know what you mean.

I still think the first boyfriend thing is the reason :giggle:

Actually, no :P I've always been given lovely gifts, whether by friends or ex-boyfriends. Keith gives astounding gifts, I have to say... though that's not the reason I married him. Probably.

:shh:

were you talking of giving or receiving these gifts?

actually if you're giving a gift it is the best to know something about the person so you can pick out something special. and it doesn't have to cost a lot. suppose someone likes alice in wonderland and you found a book with some canny illustrations that you know they don't have already. or they're a beatles fan so you give them a little tea caddy with abbey road on it. or they like marilyn monroe so you make a painting for them. or suppose they always lose their guitar plectrums so you give them some in a little case they can wear on a chain around their neck. etc. etc. x
