SAMPLE ANSWER
Most gifts take me ages to prepare just because I’m so bad at picking the right gift, and I’m terrible at wrapping them too.
A year or so ago my mother hinted in an email that she wanted a particular kind of old-fashioned fountain pen. Apparently she’d wanted it for years and years, but hadn’t gotten around to buying it. Her birthday was right around the corner and it seemed like the perfect gift.
I’m usually pretty resourceful and can quickly find most products online, even if they’re unusual or rare. But this time I couldn’t buy it online because the shipping time was too long and expensive. Instead I had to hunt for it in every art supply store I could find.
I started by doing some research online. I didn’t even know which brands to look out for, or which to avoid because they would break the bank.
I thought that if I visited a couple of local art supply stores I’d find the perfect one; I was wrong. Store after store said they didn’t keep such pens in stock. I started to fear I’d have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new gift idea. In a panic I called every art store within a 30 kilometre radius in a last ditch attempt to find this pen. I found one and rushed as fast as I could to the store.
I thought my woes were over but next I had to wrap it. I’m atrocious at wrapping anything and usually have someone else do it for me, but there was no time before the big day. I went through roll after roll of wrapping paper but I finally succeeded a couple of hours before I was supposed to fly home for her birthday.
Like most good stories, this one has a happy ending. She was delighted with the gift but knew straight away who’d wrapped it!
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Have you received anything that was handmade by the person who gave it to you?
Yes, I have received handmade cards many times from my students. But I particularly remember a time when I received the handmade bag from my friend. It was finished to the minutest details and it was made as if it was tailored for me. I still carry it with pride wherever I go. It is a very smart shoulder sling bag
When receiving a gift, do you prefer something that was self-made, or something bought in stores?
When I receive gift, it is the intention that matters to me the most not whether it is expensive or inexpensive. When I know I am receiving something from a friend who has made it for me sparing his or her time it certainly feels good but the giver should be as happy to give as I am to receive. That matters to me the most.
Which is better, self-made food or food that you buy?
When it comes to food, I always prefer self made food and I enjoy the compliments I receive after the guests relish the food that I serve. I certainly love to cook at home rather than buying food from the market or opening the packet and eating the food that is stuffed with preservatives and harmful additives. But sometimes when I am busy at work I can buy food from outside but I am very selective about the food being freshly cooked.
