Gift

It's almost that time of the year buying gift for those who are little. This year I became an aunt and my nephew who can't even talk to me will be receiving a gift. This gift has been chosen by his mommy and daddy but his aunties will be paying the present.

Okay everybody thinks its stupid to let another person choose the gift. A gift has to be a surprise. Think again, an item that is usable and wanted is better than a stupid surprise that isn't cherished. 

So after they search for it we handed them 2 coupon with each a €5,- reduction on a purchase of €25,- or above. So BB mommy said it was sad that she had to buy it herself while its a present for her child.

All I said, what is the difference with a gift card. You have to buy something in a specific store that somebody choose and you only got a certain amount of money you can spend. Sometimes it doesn't even cover half of the product you want. 

Eventually she couldn't give me any response to that. Because it's true she liked the toy and she wanted to buy it for the little boy. We even trow in the second coupon so she can buy another toy with reduction. 

All in all a present that is wanted is better than a stupid surprise where the item eventually will end up in the trash or on sale on ebay. 


Minimalism is thinking what value does it add to my life!
