When it comes to gift giving, I am terrible. I might try to defend myself with arguments that I’m just creative. Nope. I am just bad at giving presents. After this year, I’m officially known at work at among my friends as a bad gift giver. People can’t tell the difference between my purposefully crappy gifts and the ones that are supposed to be good.
What you say: “I want this. You can get it here at this store. Please get this for me.”
What I hear: “Get me something strange and unusual that no one could possibly use.”
Perhaps I should stop doing all my holiday shopping at ThinkGeek.com. I just can’t help myself. Some of the most useless, fun stuff exists here. Who wouldn’t want a bar of caffeinated soap or a DIY Dinosaur Light?
So save yourself the disappointment. Just ask for cash.
Hello, there. My name is Matt, but on this website I just refer to myself as m@. I love all things Star Wars, food, beer, and music, especially The Beatles. I'm one who likes to be noticed and will sometimes say or do inappropriate things to get your attention. I'm perfectly complimented by my online and real life partner
Except, when someone asks you for cash, this probably happens:
What you say: “I want cash.”
What I hear: “Get me something strange and unusual that no one could possibly use.”
But psh, really, who DOESN’T want a bar of caffeinated soap. Common now. That rocks.
You’re a pretty good gift-giver. The box of Flaming Hot Cheetos? Awesome. The “Cook Your Way Into Her Pants” cookbook? It was a nice thought!
