[Diarrhoea mode 'on' - read previous posts]
I wish somebody will tell me that I'm not alone in wondering about the intent behind LOUSY christmas gifts. Aren't gifts supposed to bless the recipient? Why do Scrooges feel forced to give lousy presents?

You feel happy that someone's remembered you this Christmas. You shake hands and thank the person. The gift in your hand warms your heart. You go home and put it under your christmas tree, beside all the other presents. On Christmas day itself, you gingerly remove the pretty wrapper. Only to find a big box of cheap sweets that someone bought for SGD $2.99. Even the box looked cheap. I hope you never get to read my blog, Scrooge.

And don't quote me, "It's the thought that counts." If you earn a pathetic paycheck and live from hand to mouth, I may consider that valid. I'm a firm believer in "Put your money where your mouth is."

What's your intent? If you truly have a budget of below SGD$3/=, do a mini sweet hamper. One of my buddies who's in financial difficulties wrapped a SINGLE SWEET in tissue and made a rose out of it. Couldn't have cost beyond SGD$0.50/= It looked nice, felt warm in my hands and I didn't even want to unwrap it as it looked so pretty.

I'm going to make a list of TOP 5 LOUSY PRESENTS from working adults with wages $2k and above... assuming no deep financial difficulties (study loans NOT counted!)

1. $2 ornaments - What am I to do with them? Display and focus a spotlight on them?
2. Karen Pencils - Hello!!! In this era, nobody owns a pencil sharpener lor! And they must be leftovers after your Thailand trip. Nobody wants then give to me?!
3. Chopsticks - Eh! Wedding receive chopsticks, now xmas also got huh.
4. Underwear - B* H*, unless you've been watching me too closely, how u noe my size? Buy extra-large somemore. Siao! I don't wear pampers!
5. Ugly xmas cards - Wah Biang! So ugly that I can't even display. (disclaimer: if it's ugly but for charitable causes, i still can accept... but it's not!)

No heart one... people who buy these no heart one.
