It's the thought that counts. Have you ever heard of that line after receiving a gift you had no use for? So how do you tell if the thoughts behind a gift were time consuming, well analyzed thoughts? If the gift was considered to be: something you need, something of your interest, or something expensive?
If it was just something you need, could it be a new pair of socks? I mean everyone needs a pair of new socks at some point, right? If it was something of your interest (let's say it was NASCAR), would a small $.99 NASCAR toy car be a well thought gift? I believe as we get older, putting more thought into a gift usually means, have you thought long enough about how much money you're willing to spend on a gift.
Although, kids probably don't analyze how much thought was put into a gift, I believe kids probably appreciate gifts more than anyone else. The younger, the more appreciative. Some of you with kids are probably thinking, 'this guy probably doesn't have any kids.' Let me give you an example: My girlfriend went shopping for a Halloween costume for her little brother and bought him this cheap army costume. Price tag was around $5 and it consisted of a Rambo plastic knife, compass, and a plastic camo shirt that could make a one year old imitate Hulk Hogan ripping his yellow shirt off.
I was skeptical, "Are you sure your little brother is going to like this?" She assured me he's going to love it. I would have not believed it if I wasn't there when we gave him his costume. His face lit up and with a similar low voice like Patrick from Sponge Bob, he said, "Wow....cool!"
In my last post, I had given you a list of gift ideas for adults, but had left out kids (the ones that would appreciate their gift). The gift is not needed by any kid or is it expensive, but I believe it will definitely bring out the amazement of a kid.
