2 t-shirts
some stickers for his car
a new zippo lighter
adopted a turtle on behalf of him (cause he desperatly wants a turtle but we dont have space for the tank
)
Im also having a custom car cake made for his party of on of his cars he has at the moment (Mk 2 Celica Supra)
Ive organised food and decorations and have told him im taking him out for a posh meal on his birthday
Do you guys think this is enough? I kind of dont feel like ive got him enough (bearing in mind he bought me my mercedes estate for my birthday
lol )
What do you think?
Surely gifts are about what would please the receiver and have nothing to do with amount or cost?
Something that he really wants that cost £10 is better than something he has no desire for that costs £100!
AT least that is how I feel.
the best gifts reflect the time and thought that has gone into their selection, not their monetary value of number.
