The last gift I bought was a bottle of aftershave for my step-dad. It's his favorite one, and it's his birthday coming up this week so that's what I've got him. (I'll also be making him a cake on the day as well). I always try to get people something I know they're going to appreciate and a bottle of his favorite aftershave is something he's forever looking out for so it seemed perfectly practical. What was the last gift you bought?
My last two gifts were gift cards. I hate to say it but the people I gave them to, my mother and my daughter are hard to get gifts for and I don't like to give a gift that I think will be used and it never is. A gift card takes care of not knowing what to get a person.
It was jewelry, as part of a friend’s birthday package. She actually saw it on me and wanted some of her own, so I was happy to oblige. The other stuff in the package had been procured over the last six months or so, and yet I managed to send it off late anyway. Oops!
One of my nieces has a fascination for science and she'd been saving some money to buy a science lab set. Her plans impressed me and I got her the lab set she so badly wanted as an Easter gift even though I normally don't buy anyone gifts at that time.
The last gift that I gave someone was a comb, lol. That person mentioned that she doesn't have a comb, so I just bought her one.
I bought a nice leather wallet. It was soft leather and very much appreciated. I noticed my friend's wallet was falling a part, so I know he needed it. He appreciated the quality and that it fit his needs.
The last few gifts I've given people have been handmade jewelry, baked goods, and a blu-ray player. I really like designing jewelry for people I care about, since I know their favorite colors, types of stones, and styles. I also know their favorite foods and desserts, and most people I know are too busy to bake their favorites, so a treat is always appreciated. The blu-ray player was a gift for a friend who couldn't afford one, and I knew it would be appreciated.
The last gift I bought was a watch. It was for my sister. She really liked this Casio watch and it was actually affordable. So I bought it for her as a birthday gift. It was actually nice that I am thinking about buying one for myself too.
