Giving back

[PB.]

My Parents are divorced so my mums pays for the things for my dad and my dad pays for the things for my mum.

We also buy for cousins and grandparents.

 

[Binary]

Yup, I give lots of things to everyone, and at last Im a begging person without a penny.

At least you provided them with temporal happiness before you got broke.

ºoº .......... How much money do you possibly have Jeremy!? >___< t-that would sum up.... A LOT! ;O; I want the LoZ: OoT Master Quest ;O;... but I got some nice gifts, I can't complain... but still... that's a lot of money you spent Jeremy ._.

And to answer Chikara's question... no, I don't give presents... what?... don't look at me that way! it was an honest mista-I mean... what? they don't expect anything back, right?... besides... I'm broke! I'm always broke... okay I'm saving for neat future! that money is out of the question... STOP IT, your stares are certainly frightening.

(I do give presents back, REALLY =D)

 

[The Real AAA]

Yeah my cousin gave me like 2 old school pkmn games(Blue & Red) so I gave him back a 25$ Gamestop Gift card

 

[fy@x5]

I get gifts for people but only ones that I'm certain are giving me gifts. So yeah, I'm kinda selfish. Especially because I asked everybody for $5.00 for christmas and the gifts I gave out were in a 3-for-1 sale.

 

[Silence]

I spend my own money at Christmas to buy a present for my little brother and presents for my close friends. I usually don't buy for any other relatives or people in general, though. I'll probably start buying for aunts and uncles and cousins when I turn eighteen.

 

[Astinus]

It depends on the person. Like this year, I bought a present for my mom, and three presents for someone else. The other person, however, was someone that I wanted to know how much I cared for him, so that's why he got four DVDs and a card. >< My mom was happy with the present I got her. And this year I could buy the presents with my own money, since I have a job. Other years, no one got anything.

 

[Degenerate]

Nah, more often than not I'm broke, and when I'm not, I'm incredibly cheap. Most people know not to ask me for return presents coz I'd tell them I'm broke but, from the kindness of my heart, offer them an old pair of underwear I don't wear anymore. No one's accepted it yet but I have faith. The good thing about my friends is that they're willing to accept a simple "thanks" most of the time. Whenever I'm in a good mood and I have a few bucks to spare, I'd think about getting something for them. My parents never ask or expect presents from me. I can only remember two occasions I ever bought anything for them. Hm. I really need to start being more grateful.
