When I think of giving a good gift, I think about my uncle.
Why is that? I know he gave you a snow globe yesterday. Doesn't that seem like a strange gift?
Well, I'll be honest, his gifts can be out of times, but they just make me laugh.
I'm glad. But my family always give very practical gifts.
Oh, like what?
We give gift cards of our favorite stores or even just money.
Emm, I guess those are useful. But they don't seem like very fun gifts to receive.
That's ridiculous. Gift cards and cash are always fun to receive.
Gift cards and cash are practical. But they're not very imaginative.
So, I can use them to buy anything I want. I like that.
But giving a gift like that is taking the easy way out. You're not taking the time to select a gift you know the person will enjoy.
OK, but what if the giver is wrong? What if you don't like the gift?
In that case, I'll just ask for the receipt and return it. Or I regift it.
Ah, how awkward.
Well, people understand. And I'm always grateful for any gift.
Really? If someone buys you something random, then they probably won't really thinking of you.
That's true. A good gift should be thoughtful.
So what makes a snow globe from your uncle so special?
Winter is our favorite season. We both love snow.
How nice. I see your point now. But for my birthday, please don't try to guess what I might like. A simple gift card is fine.
