Is this an insufficient present?

(Anonymous) 2013-12-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I planned to make her an extra present, but realised too late that my materials weren't good enough, so I'm left with a generic box of Celebrations chocolates for a sixteen year old girl. I see her first thing tomorrow so I can't go emergency shopping and I've bought her brother an actual present, otherwise I'd just plead poverty. I could give her £10 as well, but I'm so strapped for cash that doing that would genuinely leave me in trouble when it comes to food later in the year. Or I could give her one of my unread books, but she's not a big reader... The computer games would not fly!

The sweets sound fine to me but it really depends on your relationship to them. Maybe you could explain about the gift materials not being good enough and that you will have her other present soon?

I think the biggest thing isn't that the chocolate wouldn't be good (because chocolate is wonderful), it's that her brother got something else. By actual present, what do you mean? If there was a big disparity in the perceived value of the gifts, it might be a bit awkward.

I think, like the other anon, if you just explain "I don't have the second half of your present quite done, but you'll have it soon" it should be fine? Do you see them quite often? If you have a fairly close relationship with her/her family, I'd imagine this would be A-OK.

This. Even if you don't see them often you can mail it to her.

She's just sixteen years old, leave her alone, they say. Separated by fools who don't know what love is yet. But I want you to know if I could fly, I'd pick you up and take you into the night and explain that unread books as long as she doesn't know you already owned them are a perfectly fine present, she should read, she should read yeah, ooooooh....
