ha ha ha, its happened to me too many times, that aunties want my jewerly and watches. My thoughts are this, sometimes you can bare to part with something other times you can't. An aunty asked me if she could have my brand new Tiffany bracelet, and honestly it was a gift from me to me, to mark the end of school.... and you gotta know your aunties too- this one I said ok, if you trade this bracelet for apki car (she has a BMW) so she said deal we shook on it and laughed.. othertimes i say, ohh this its old, or you know thats my favorite watch aunty- next time i see one exactly like it, i'll get it for u.. so many ways... jsut because they like something u don't have to take it off and give it to them --imagine if they liked your clothes then what do u do.. take it off and give it to them.. right there an then ;P
Re: Watch
i've done that where i have given the aunty the watch or jewerly, but then next time they ask for something else... so generally i just simply thank them, and said its a gift, or its my favorite.. which takes care of the problem.
^ You know i didn't mean that in the complete extreme side of it. Prophet once said, "Wealth never decreases when you give." What i was getting at that if this aunty asked for the watch she should not have hesitated because as her elder she should have given her the watch. Later on she would have returned the watch or would have praised that how good mannered this girl is and that how willingly she gave her the watch. I remember giving my bat to my cousin once because i knew that Allah will give me more. The thing is i wouldn't go around giving my personal things to people i know that his is not a communist party. But if someone needs a thing and i know that i can afford another or that i know that i can live without it i should give to them. The thing is that material things keep us away from connecting to our universal Self. We are indulged in our petty things even though we know that someday these things will have no value but still we hold on to them. The whole morel of my post was to let go of things and in a way eliminate the pain that comes from losing something of sentimental value.
Well mr. generous why dont you go over to all views, check out my thread about thirsty poor people, and be the first guppy to donate!!!!

Re: Watch
Oh gawd ![]()
It’s a pity that some aunties resort to that level. Coming back to the topic, if that aunty were to ask me to exchange my watch with hers, I would do exactly was PSquared suggested…say that it was a gift from someone close and that it means a lot to me, and get her off my back.
