Simple

They say I'm the girl who has everything. Most people I know have a hard time looking for a gift for me. Not that I'm expecting one but it would be a nice thought. But every year I hear someone telling me I'm difficult to give a gift to.

What's so hard about not liking a present?

I admit there are presents given to me that I'm not too fond of but I still do appreciate the thought. To be honest, I don't know what I like to get for Christmas (neither for my birthday). I do like the idea of a surprise though. So for the record, I would like to list down here some ideas of presents someone like me would appreciate very much:

- NATURAL. The best present anyone could give me would be something that came from Nature. I LOVE Mother Nature and I especially like getting presents like cut flowers and plants. A big bouquet of flowers would be enough to brighten my holiday. A potted plant is also always welcome.

- GADGETS. Now I'm not a techie girl, but if you give me something like a simple gadget (Depends on how you define "simple", an alarm clock is simple). I don't need high-tech materials, just something high-tech enough for me. Laptops will give you a 100 points in my gift scale.

- DIFFERENT. Give me an unusual gift and for sure I'm going to keep it. Like knives.

- USEFUL. Useful being that I can use it at home or at work. Or to be specific, something I can use NOW. A calculator, a box of pens, crayons, earphones, etc. No more bags and pouches please.

- GIFT CERTIFICATE. Come on, you might say it's not a very thoughtful gift but I like gift certificates, whether it's a Sodexho pass, a massage, a dinner and overnight stay, you can be sure I'm going to like it.

LASTLY...

- PERSONAL. Sing me a song, write me a poem, a handwritten love letter, draw me a picture, give me a paper heart. Anything that's made by YOU means it's important, and you're important, and it means I need to keep it. I haven't received something like this in a while. I must admit I miss it.

I am a simple girl. Simple things make me happy. So don't think I have everything. To be honest, if only they can wrap you up and put a bow and a card on you, you would probably be the only gift I want to receive.
