What would gift you buy someone if you had unlimited funds?
So... I did a search on silly blog topics and one of the results said blog about gifts you'd like to give.... that is... if money were no object. This is actually appropriate because it was just my coworker's b-day yesterday and I went to his party and got him a case of his favorite beer. So when he's chillin out and relaxin on the weekend he can enjoy a cold brew after a long day of gardening or house work.
But... let's talk about gift giving! I think it's definitely better to give than to receive. I defintely get a lot of joy over giving something to someone when I think they might REALLY enjoy it! Giving gifts is always sooo tough because I worry if it will be the right one! But I think maybe the topic creator was hinting at the stuff bob barker had resources to. Because it's supposed to be what kind of gifts would you give if the budget didn't matter. Giving away new cars to friends would certainly be awesome. But I don't know... I'd rather write someone a song! Or maybe make someone a cool crafty card.
I know I KNOW what you're saying... I WANT THE CAR!
I mean ok... but really think to your self... do you REALLY want a car? Or a cruise? Or a new giant mansion house? Or some crazy fancy back massager chair...
Ok... MAYBE... but think to yourself... do you REALLY? Do you REALLY want one of those things?
Actually whoa... crap... that chair reclines back! AND IT HAS A FREAKIN REMOTE!
umm...well... maybe on that last one... I kinda wish I had that!
Ok if I HAD unlimited funds... I'd buy everyone I know one of those chairs. Although they are backordered 7-10 days... so you would have to wait anyways.
But seriously... wouldn't you RATHER have something coming from a dearest friend or loved one that was created by their very own hands? Like something that was sent from the bottom of their heart (quick fact: I almost changed my iPhone email to say "sent from the bottom of my heart" instead of "sent from my iPhone"... but instead I just removed it all together)? I mean I know personally in order to think about what to give as gifts to friends or family members or birthdays or holidays I think about what i'd like to receive. To me I think the best gift is just spending some good quality time with the person, so maybe the best gift would be a nice dinner out or something like that! Right? Or not even buying someone anything! I mean maybe just writing poetry or like I mentioned before a song... or maybe just going somewhere scenic and taking a walk and talking! OR even like making someone dinner! Or something... Those all sound like great gifts don't they!?!?!
Maybe?
Perhaps?
sigh... I KNOW what you are all thinking... let me guess... it would be something like this...
Blog reader: "Actually... I want the chair... Can I have the chair?"
Me: "Ok ok...Fiiiiiiiiiiine... if I had unlimited funding and it was your birthday... you can have the back massager chair."
Blog reader: "Freaking sweet. Also a new car or a cruise would work too."
Me: "You do realize this is just a blog post and completely fictitious "what if" situation, so you aren't ACTUALLY getting that chair... OR a car... OR a cruise... right?"
Blog reader: "Lame. That's uncool man... Soooooo uncool."
