presents dilemma

TOP FOUR worst presents to get (because i can't think of five).

1. unbranded hygiene related stuff.
soap. cream. shower gel. powder. why? do i really need that? are you trying to tell me something? it's not even nice soap you get from the body shop with nice packaging and a nice smell. its dodgy soap with no labels packed in a dodgy cardboard box and all it says is SHOWER GEL.
2. candles.
plain candles that don't even look nice. i don't get why people get that! i know its cheap but seriously. arghhh
3. clothes.
especially when they don't fit you. oh not to mention when they look horrible. but seriously i think no one should buy people clothes unless they know for sure the person's size. and they know for sure they will absolutely love you for it. like when you overhear them talk about wanting this shirt or this dress. seriously, no clothing.
4. confectionery
the type of confectionery that YOU KNOW they got from a dollar store. seriously i know chocolate's good but not ALL chocolate is good. and candy. what? i don't even like candy! omgsh a relli bad brand of chocolate is that stupid roses one. it suckkkkkkkks.

TOP FIVE best presents to get.

1. decorations.
something that just looks incredibly awesum. like i don't care if its not practical. if its shiny, got curls, is asymmetrical, something you don't see anywhere, you know i'm sold! e.g. an alice cup or an incredibly insane clock
2. practicals.
something extremely practical. something you'd have to use all the time. let's say, an icecream maker or a cookbook.
3. shouting.
nothing's better than saying: i'll let you choose wat you want, and i'll pay for it. oh hey, that reminds me of free avatar 3d tickets at imax with a shopping trip. booyah.
4. in-jokes
in-joke presents are the best. or just presents that are MEANT to not be taken as an actual present. something hilarious would be a present the person HATES. but if you want them to give you another present next year, food's always a good choice, like half a watermelon or a box of ferrero rochers.
5. money
if you can't stand the feeling of your heart being ripped out of your wallet while you stand aside, watching your friend try on an expensive dress, which you're paying for, then just give them a $20 note. $10 seems too little, $30 is like woah, wat the? but $20. seems just right. it still says i'll let you choose wat you want, and i'm paying, while setting a limit for yourself too.

was i too late in writing this?
