My Gift

I’m not a big gift giver. I know how to give them, in fact I think I give pretty awesome gifts. I’m just not a fan of any of it.

If a friend gives me a gift it defines the relationship. We’re probably not “great” friends to begin with, but now, we definitely aren’t. Especially when you find out I’m not going to give you one when I have the opportunity.

You’d probably be more offended at the reception of a gift from me anyway, seeing as I’m the guy that totally plays the funny Hallmark card with a Starbucks gift card attached. Not that bad? Let me play like Emeril and take it up a notch. This gift card, though it may take you to the happiest place on earth, will be for that awkward amount like $7. BAM! Another notch! WTF!?I know, right?

No, to me a true sign of friendship and the best gift anyone can give is that of no gift at all. Sparing me the awkward moment, recieving the god-awful gift you have just be-labored me with figuring out who to regift it to. So, I I don’t give you a gift, like, ever don’t be offended. Instead, relish in the awesome fact that I like you enough to not care.

Why don’t I care? Because I love you that much.
