Gad, I am guilty of giving boring gifts.
ReplyDeleteI don't think either fits me. I'm the person who agonizes for weeks over finding just the right *whatever.* No matter what price range I'm shopping in, I am uncomfortable giving generic gifts. So I agonize, and I shop, and I spend ridiculous amounts of time...and I agonize after giving the gift as well. I'm queen of revisiting my gift-purchasing decision! Hrm, now that I see that in black and white, it makes me want to figure out just how I became this person. What in my gift-giving or -receiving formative years made this such a fraught-with-emotion process for me?
ReplyDeleteI give the gift that best suits the receiver of the gift. That is, I give safe but boring gifts to safe, sensible, and practical people. I give the later sort of gifts to people who are more adventurous.
