Re: Note To Family & Friends: I Prefer Cash

To me, gift cards say, "we're friends, but I don't really know anything about you, so here's some money instead." I don't think I would ever give cold hard cash to any of my friends as a gift, but in China, red envelopes are the norm for holidays, weddings, birthdays, and other special occasions, and it's totally okay to give money as a gift (and I'm totally okay with getting it).

That being said, I wholeheartedly believe in giving gifts, as long as there's thought behind it. Like Matt said, it should be something that makes the gift receiver go, "wow, you're ridiculously awesome." So if that aftershave you're talking about will have that effect, then why not?

Hey back Holly - I walk by Strand on the way to class every. single. day. I'll definitely check that out. In case that doesn't pan out, there's also a site called BIGWORDS.com that helps you buy and sell textbooks for really good deals. Next semester = no more new books!

Chris - Thanks! That actually is about the nicest thing you could possibly say. Ever. Keep reading!
