Looking around these days...when some people receive gifts it has to be something expensive like a ipad or something, in order it to be counted as "thoughtful".
What happen to the "The thought that counts"?
Where the price of the item does not matter aslong there is a thought to it or it is something that someone likes. For example... one of my friend was given a iphone for his birthday, me and my friend we baked him a variety of cupcakes and we turn it into a giant tower and spell out his name with mini cupcakes. We choose cupcakes as he loves them.... The look on his face was much more happier than when he was receiving the iphone from his parents, according to his parents....
In total it did not cost me and my friend much, buying all the ingredient but it's the thought that count right, not the price?
To me...something being made or be given something simple is better than receiving something expensive. As people who tends to buy you something expensive put lack of thoughts within it, as they know it is something you want and like, but you simply cannot afford it but they can. While something simple or hand made, is done with care and alot of thoughts. Since they will have to spend some time figuring out what to make and how to do it, along being patient. Or figure out what is best to get to you such as what you need or is worthy for you to have OR something that represent each other, like something represent your personal joke...
Another example... a leaving present, a photo frame or a hand made photo album tends to be a good gift as it holds valuable memories of good times...
So what would you pick? Expensive gift with lack of emotion to it? Or something different and simple but is filled with love and care?
Showing that you appreciate the gift, matters...
But...yet....there some people out there who does not care or appreciate any item they receive... sad thought really....
