When Gifts Are Hard To Find
Why can’t we let Christmas pass without thinking of some gifts to give to our loved ones. It’s absurd to think that the world is in crisis and many have lost their jobs because of this, yet people rush to the malls and stores hunting for gifts. Blame those Three Kings who brought gifts for Jesus, they had passed on such stupendous deed for centuries now that people are having a hard time getting away with it. Well, I can’t complain much cos I, myself, advocate this manner of giving this Holiday seasons.
I’m out for work almost all the time so I have seen how jampacked malls and stalls are. And this is what I don’t like, being in the midst of a crowd jostling to grab whatever seems to be a perfect gift. Quite frankly, I haven’t done the shopping yet and I know I’m not alone to be the last-minute buyer (as I’ve read on some blogs out there). The worse is, I don’t even know what gifts to buy. Soon I’ll be off work for Christmas holidays but it will be too late then to rush for gifts. My option would be to resort to online shopping though to avoid stress.
My student was talking about a PSP or something which I didn’t have any clue what it was. He said his mother would be giving him this handheld toy or whatever come Christmas. It seems we can’t surprise the kids nowadays as they are more happier to tell and get what they want. I haven’t talked to my nephews in Davao yet, so it will be a surprise if I send them a Nintendo or PSP, whatever. I don’t even know if they already have this. Sometimes it’s good that kids tell what they want for a gift. Perhaps giving them money is not bad at all and spend it for something they fancy. That way, I’d be totally free from buying, wrapping and sending.
Oh my..gusto rin ng anak ko yan pero di namin bigyan dahil may Wii na sila at bagong computer..take note liliit pa mga kids ko.

Naku, Joy, huwag muna at baka puro laro na lang ang aatupagin nila.
Well at least kaya ko naman sila kontrolin eh..every Friday and weekend lang sila pwede maglaro and they can use computer for school projects..minsan tatawad ng laro for 30mins to 1 hour segi pagbigyan pero wag sobra or else no more games..that’s my rule. Influence kasi ng Daddy kaya yan pati youngest kona three years old master na ang gameboy…hightech na gyud mga kids Len.

I would go ballistic too if I had no idea what to gift my loved ones. BTW, did you get a gift for your hubby yet? what did you get him? As for children nowadays, Syabil is also asking for a PS3 portable- no idea what it is!
Farah, I always have a hard time thinking for gifts. No, I don’t think I’ll bother for a gift for him cos he’s got his new phone as per my recommendation, hehee! Anyway, I bought two pairs of trousers for him but it’s not a gift.

Fren, bilib na talaga ako sa mga kabataan ngayon. Alam na alam kung anong bago.
Ang mga bata ngayon high tech na rin talaga. Yung 4 year old classmate nga ni Sean, sabi ng lola, napupuyat daw kaka PSP inaabot ng 3Am?, ayan tuloy di marunong magsulat on his own.
Gusto ko rin ng PSP. My Ate asked kung gusto namin para kay Sean gift nya daw, sabi ko huwag na, baka puro laro na lang ang gawin namin haha! May tendency pa naman akong ma-addict sa laro, haha!
Mas gusto ko rin sinasabi ng bata kung anong gusto nyang gift para hindi na ako mahirapang mag-isip.

Amor, sobrang bata pa namang mapuyat ang 4 yo sa PSP. Dapat di nila ina-allow.
Hahaa! Delikado pala kung bibigyan si Sean nito at ikaw ang mama ang maaaddict.
Dito, ganun ang ginagawa ng mga adults, tinatanong talaga nila ang mga bata when it comes to gifts, kahit b-day.
OO nga, pasaway din daw kasi yung mom noon lagi din naglalaro sa PSP kaya nagaya na ang anak, kaya ayun laging puyat, kawawa nga yung bata.
Kami ni Sean dito naman naglalaro sa PC, alam nya na nga kung anong website pupuntahan haha.

There’s really so much pressure in buying the perfect gift. I really would hate it if I gave people something that they won’t like. But there’s also the buget problem! Argh! As much as I love Xmas, it is kinda a stressful time. Hehehehe

My mom did the sane decision when she opted to give us a monetary gift than anything else! She believed that the money is a sensible gift esp in this bad economy.
Maricris, depends on what one belives about a monetary gift. I wouldn’t call it sane, anyway, cos I prefer money than something wrapped, lol!
ako ninang este ate marlene san gift ko…ahahaha! joke lang!
Merry Christmas!

Ahahaa! Chelle, utang muna ngayon. Bilangin mo na lang kung ilang Pasko akong di makakabigay sa yo, hehee!
I agree, sometimes it’s better to give monetary gift…I do that sometimes…..
That way, the recipient will get anything that he/she wants for themselves.
