just for you!

I was watching a TV sitcom one time [I don't remember which one], when the wife of the main character finds out that the engagement ring that he gave her years ago was actually bought for his ex-girlfriend when he thought he was going to ask her to marry him -- but he didn't and asked his current wife [WITH THAT SAME RING] instead! So it got me thinking...

Have you ever received a present that was 'just for you', but then you found out later that it wasn't? There's something about the thought of somebody actually going out and looking for the thing that would suit you perfectly that makes a gift even more special -- most of the times gifts are great even if they're not exactly what you wanted, just because you know the person you care about took the time to find it just for you.

Doesn't it just totally suck when you find out that that the thought behind that gift wasn't really for you, but for someone else? All the thought and love and care behind the act just disappears, i think, especially the specialness of the gift, and all that's left is the physical gift, none of the happiness or love or care or specialness that came with it.

So wouldn't it doubly suck when you didn't get the gift in the first place, but you thought that a person was going to buy you a gift because you really wanted it? Say, it was discontinued or something. Because then all the thought and love and care and specialness of the act would be gone... and you didn't even get the thing you wanted so bad in the first place.

Yeah, that would suck.

I Think you are pretty cool.
I like your blogs.
I would like to see more of your blogs posted.
I would not give some thing ment for some one else.
I would get some thing new that ment a lot to both of us.
It would not be a cool thing to do.
What the guy should of done is got some thing new and not have given the same ring.

I see what your saying but.... If the person brought the present for someone else & then ended up not giving it to them. They obviously thought about you as the next worthy candidate? So there was a gesture of a thought

kim, do you prefer giving or receiving oral sex?

Posted by weng weng @ 03/27/2003 05:05 PM PST

my point is that, yes, it's the thought that counts, but if somebody bought it for somebody else that means that there WAS NO THOUGHT involved.

Posted by kim @ 03/27/2003 02:40 PM PST

Depends how you look at the situation. Look at it this way if the gift was good enough for someone else why wouldn't it be good enough for you. Or does everyone's ego need boosting through the roof. It's the thought that counts......bad cliche but it's true....

i agree, second-hand, and i've even heard of third-hand gifts really suck. they should be OUTLAWED. it's a crime against your friendship.

mandy moore's hot

.....i mean ..uh..
receiving a gift that was originally meant for somebody else would make me feel insignificant...like they didn't think I was good enough for them to go out and get a gift specifically for me rather than recycling an old gift...

Posted by chris @ 02/13/2003 10:50 AM PST

I never get gifts, so I wouldn't know. >=/

i have a shoebox with a ring in it. The girl I gave it to wore it for a while then gave it back. Im not saying I would give it to another girl, because I wouldnt. But what should I do with it?

Posted by foo @ 02/12/2003 05:35 PM PST

yea would suck 'cause the truth hurts

but hey,

maybe he's poor cant get another ring..a ring is a ring right? (materialize) it's a thought that count

or he lost his receipt and the store magnager is an ass

or was too heart broke about his ex that forgot about the 30 days return policy.

all the above?

hehe

hi kim *waves*

stop watching sitcoms and watch more porno =o)

Posted by vu @ 02/12/2003 05:39 AM PST
