I don't mean this in a narcissistic way, but with a reference I could rattle off a fairly good realistic pen sketch people would like in fifteen minutes. That's because I've spent years practicing and DRAWING DRAWING DRAWING and it's developed skill, not effort.

If I were to take part in an exchange, though, I'd think a lot about what I was drawing and spend at least a few hours on it and make it very detailed and try to create something I think the person I'm creating it for would like- that's not skill, it's effort. I'd rather get something with a lot of effort put into it by someone who genuinely cared about giving me a nice gift than a technically-great piece someone put little to no effort into. No skill and no effort is what I think a lot of people here are talking about and that would suck too, but, uh, either way.

Don't get me wrong! I'd be happy to have either and would appreciate either. But for me it wouldn't be about skill but more the love put into a gift, and if I'd spent hours on something nice and got something (technically shitty looking or not) that obviously had little love or care put into it, I wouldn't complain as to not seem like an ass or hurt the giver's feelings, but I would probably not be happy :(

It's like money spent on a tangible gift vs how thoughtful it is, I guess? An expensive or rare gift can be cool but if it's not what you wanted and shows no insight by the giver (or shows the opposite) then I'd prefer something cute from the dollar store tbqh

MAYBE THAT'S CONCEITED AND SELFISH. it probably is. I was brought up to appreciate anything I'm given. I do, but I can't really help being moved more by some gifts than others and I don't really blame people who put effort into one of those things and get little back in return for being disappointed
