It's The Thought That Counts...

Wonder if RT likes/wants/needs this pressie? ;)

 

 

I'm totes excited to give RT his birthday gift tomorrow. I didn't ask RT what he actually wanted for his birthday, because at X'mas when I asked, he said "get me a musician" -- bah. Unfortunately there are no Musicians R' Us stores in my vicinity, so he got a pressure/slow cooker for X'mas. I'm pretty certain he wasn't expecting that lol.

I make a conscious effort not to ask people what they want for <insert occasion here>. Instead I observe and make mental notes when I'm around them about what they like/want/need.

 

I also prefer people not to ask me what I want. For starters, if I'm just going to tell you what I want and then you go out and buy it... I might as well give you my grocery list -- make sure you don't forget the milk and eggs :p

 

Secondly, the element of surprise is diluted or diminished altogether, so where's the fun in that? And here's another thing; why do people wrap up a present if the other person already knows what they're getting? *baffled*

You know the saying "It's the thought that counts"?

 

It REALLY does.
