Which seems like a cool game and all but it was gotten immediately after the same person sent me fetish art of its main character I really didn't like. So it didn't feel right.
A co-worker wanted to give me a lift to a shopping mall semi-near my home when I had my car in the workshop. I politely turned him down because it was either a 60-minute walk or two buses from there to home, while I could get a single bus from outside the office. He was weirdly insistant.
I would say it might make a good re-gifting option to have on standby but, they're second hand, they're heavy and space consuming and, at least I personally, don't know anyone who plays golf either. Gift sucks.
My mother wanted to give me a 2x2x1 foot bug zapper. I live in a small townhouse, only a few feet of outdoor space. What we do have is taken up with native plants trying alto attract bees and insects due to the shocking drop in them. We also live in a climate that does not have mosquitoes or annoying bugs really. In the 8 years I've lived here we have had one fly come into our home, we've never complained about bugs once, and we've constantly talked about how little space we have.
As an adult I hate gifts in general. If I wanted something I would have gotten it and if its something I could not get it would usually be so expensive as to be quite embarrassing. Rarely someone comes across a great deal on something I would want or is something that I would want that is not to expensive but not commonly available but then such opportunities are not just rare but almost never happen close enough to a gift giving occasion (as we do such things in society). As such I almost never want them and do not like to give them except when the rare opportunity arises and then out of the blue. This tends to fluster the recipient who then seeks to get something inane for me.
Personally I give gifts that people never knew they wanted. That the value from the gift itself is worth more than the shelf price. My favorite gift is a small, but capable, screwdriver set.
Everyone always tells me it's lame like "it's just a tool, it's so boring". But every single person I've given it to contacts me again in a couple months like clockwork telling me how it saved their butts. Telling me they use it to replace a light switch, repair or tighten up some furniture, replace a part on their bike, take apart their PC and the list goes on.
NO ONE'S first thought after getting 15$ would be a screw driver kit, which is why I give them.
Another one is a luxury nail clipper. One that's like 20$. Something you'd never spend that kind of money on, but every moment you use it is GLORIOUS.
I'm the same but I find the atmosphere of a live game of pretty much any sport to be enjoyable. I just need a vague understanding of the rules, I pick a team to go for, and settle in.
Seems to imply it's the exception and not the rule. It's hard enough to figure out what I want/need for myself, why would someone's guess or random whim be better? Just toss it on the pile of stuff people expect me to keep b/c they gave it to me...
I got a Dakine wide brim hat a few years back, and it's easily my favorite hat. It doesn't have the extra neck protection, but it provides better all around shading than any standard ball cap, it's comfortable, and I like the chill style that comes with the hat.
True, but you can get the best of both worlds with sunscreen. I stopped leaving home without at least SPF 30 and it made a remarkable difference to how quickly my face is aging.
