    If you were a character in a video game, one where the idea was to build relationships through granting the proper gifts, on a scale of "Love, Like, Okay, Dislike, and Hate" what would be some of yours in each category?
    What would you hate so much that you wouldn't even be afraid to be impolite and tell this person you absolutely despise it?

    For example, mine would be:

    Love: Bag of nice coffee beans, a bug, triop or sea monkey eggs, a digital pet toy, vintage media (a game on floppy disc, a VHS tape, etc.)
    Like: Clothing accessories (hats, gloves, etc.), miniature tech building kits, encyclopedias/field guides, a pretty coffee mug, plushies, gift cards depending
    Okay: Stationary, stickers, keychains
    Hate: Essential oils, anything from an MLM, sandpaper, something you found off the ground (the exception being a bug)
