Don't Buy Me Christmas Gift Sets



Crabtree & Evelyn @ Raffles City

Now, Singaporeans are even queuing for shopping. By queuing here I do not mean queuing for paying, but for entering the store, ah-ha. Piles of identical Christmas-ly gift sets scattering around the store, sometimes even grouped according to price range, and I begin to wonder why people buy Christmas gift sets. I mean, why would you ever want to officially make the receiver realize that you are not all that sincere?

在新加坡不論何時何地你都可以發現你在排隊(當然，你還會被插隊XD)，而最近連一般商店都有LV的派頭，可以看到人龍排隊等著進門選購聖誕禮盒。那些包裝得一模一樣的聖誕禮盒從門內堆到門外，有些商家(例如the Body Shop)還依照價格將禮盒分門別類。送禮自然是看心意，不是看價錢，所以我老覺得，如果送禮送到這份兒上，挑現成禮盒、照價錢選購，還不如不要送，反正收的人也知道你沒多大誠意。
