Sore Receiver? Be a Spirited Giver

November 4, 2005 by Designer Ella

I see that the personification satire in my post-birthday entry was not widely well-accepted. I mean that I can be a brat, and this site is in a material world, so why not outlet those feelings on my blog, to set them free and better understand & perceive my own issues? Partly, I hope fellow material girls will recognize it. I put a meaning and positional spin on my whine to give it some good use—which was not completely understood. And I apologize.

KT brought up a point that was part of my intended message. We need to be more giving. Seek out a gift that comes from your creativity, and not necessarily always your checkbook. Some of my longest lasting, favorite presents are from my best friend—who doesn’t have a large bank account, but knows my interests. It’s a difficult task to accomplish with my ever-changing finickiness!

I do pride myself in my gifting abilities, KT. I approach the sport with an eyeing, artful science. Call me a professional shopper in that way. I’m always heartily thanked after the act, and am in nervous twitters right before. I care.

I tried to come at the argument from a rear-end viewpoint. Now, I join KT and plainly say, Be a spirited giver!

oh, I didn’t mean to make you feel like a brat, I am sorry. my comment was a little too snippy. I just think bad gifts aren’t such a big issue because we can always exchange/return, and I personally like getting money because then I can shop for myself. But I do agree that hand sanitizer is pretty low. My favorite bad gift was from my grandmother: handmade earrings made of clam shells, with a little piece of flesh-colored clay stuck in the center to represent the clam. yes. I am serious. they were awesome.

Sounds kitschy.

I accept your apology! It’s really not a problem. We all need feedback, and writers should get it on whether they are understandable. In fact, I am a brat, so what’s the problem? You even inspired this 2nd post, which is great.

I think you’ll appreciate another post coming in a week!
