My sister recently built a house, a huge 2 story one and she only has one house phone in the whole place. You have to wait like a minute before she ever answers when you ring. So for Christmas I got her another one. Is that really impersonal? She has a whole big list of things she needs doing to the place like fencing and landscaping etc so I thought I'd get her a few things which are way down on her list so she will feel like its more finished.
But now I'm worried that its a bit of a sucky present. It's like "here, merry christmas dan, have a phone..nice and er...thoughtful eh..." I'm going to get her more house things like a nice picture or decor pot and things to add to it, but is that really lame of me?
I get this every year shopping for my impossibly difficult family. I thought it would be easy with her building this house but now every idea just ends up looking really cold and impersonal. I want to buy her nice things but she has more 'needs' than 'wants'.
Share present ideas, please. What do you all buy for your fam?
