Re: Gift-giving etiquette
[QUOTE]
And PR, i don't get hwy people would do that. I mean why can't you give something that they could use, that they would like, instead of something that YOU would like? Like, my cousin who takes 1-hour long baths and home manicures, that's not me AT ALL so I would not appreciate a gift like that. I am happy with a card and "happy birthday' if it means i won't get shiitty gifts

When I said giving something that you would want for yourself, I meant giving a proper gift that isn't broken or inappropriate. Obviously you should try to give someone something you think they would like but a lot of times you may not know the person too well so you use your best judgement. Personally if I don't know a person too well I prefer giving them a gift certificate so they can choose what they want.
