I get annoyed at people who say all these opposing ideas just to confuse you :/
Eg: Its thier birthday and you ask them what they want
1. they say - I want something meaningful that will make me laugh :)
2. Hence you go out buy something rather silly and meaningful to your both- this may not be very expensive, but the amount of thought may be immense.
3. They say ACTUALLY i really want a new pair of nike shoes. . . .
4. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
Your options. . .
1. Just go out and buy the nike shoes and chuck the first gift.
2. buy the nike shoes give them both presents
3. Ceebs with the shoes and give them what they originally asked.
4. say SCREW THIS and they get nothing.
If you dont know its okay t o say " I dont know" cost that means the person wont do anything just yet- in case you think of something later.
If your friend changes their mind its always easy to just "exchange" r "refund" the gift- but many for get the MENTAL LABOR put into thinking of a gift where to buy it to even how to wrap it :/
I often lie in bed and thing of things in my head which i am supposed to write in a card.
I know some people do this subconsciously and i may have even done this a few times.
But try and keep this in mind? and be considerate fo your fellow friends <3
Because in the end all they want to do is make you happy at the end of the day.

Another thing i would like to address is GUILT!
some people feel so guilty when they receive presents. . . . . .
and sometimes im like WHYY?!?!?!?!
Honestly i never feel guilty he i receive presents- embarrassed sure but not guilty. Say someone gives me a badass present for my bday and i didn't give them anything, in my mind im like " well their gonna get one badass present on their birthday" SIMPLE. what with all this guilt stuff. SO MAN UP AND TAKE THE PRESENT.
because:
1. You're making the other person feel bad if you feel guilty
2. If you SAY you feel guilty they may throw away/ discard your gift
3. It maybe hinder them from giving you presents in the future
And if you feel "guilty" accepting presents WHY DID YOU TELL ME IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY IN THE FIRST PLACE? @___@
utterly confusing. . . . .
So in the future let's exchange guilt-free/ confusion-free gifts? :3
