Same here … if I’m gifting to someone under the age of about 8 years old, I’ll them a little toy and some cash … anyone older than that is just getting straight cash.
I’m not spending time to try to figure out what people like or dislike or whether or not they’re following some latest trend … take my cash and do what you want with it … and for teens, they combine all the cash they get and get one big thing they want which works out best for them.
Some of the best food we can have is the food we make for ourselves.
It never feels like it at the time … but whenever I’ve gone far from home, I always miss the food me and my wife make.
When an authoritarian country does it, everyone goes crazy
When a company does it to make more money and take more control, it’s just business as usual.
I’m lost in a fog … but I know there’s a steep cliff ledge nearby where I’ll fall for a very, very long time.
They’re on their way to the spiral of death
Which I understand and appreciate … any other time of year or maybe on birthdays, I’ll take a bit of time to try to remember what the person likes and what gift they might enjoy. Usually, we’ll be doing something and the person will mention something like ‘I like that’, ‘I wish I had that’ or something … then it’s easy to just buy the thing and gift them that shortly after.
But during Christmas, it’s really hard to try to figure out what a bunch of different people like or not like … it usually ends up that you’ll mess up on most people and get it right with a few. Which is why I settled on just cash.
