mom was saying how she wasn’t good at getting gifts and was like “I don’t even know what to get you :(” and I was like. no mom. I’m the problem here.
#my ramblings
#anyway I’m helping her fold dumplings for sister and dad to eat while she’s in cn to take care of grandpa
#she has to. wrestle a lot with healthcare. not really looking good.
#sister’s gonna order groceries so I don’t have to spread myself too thin but I’m still gonna help out of course
#but anyway I think gift giving is a skill that can be trained
#but part of gift giving as a skill is knowing how to give gifts to folks when you don’t necessarily know what they want
#for a high school pal I don’t know the specifics of fandom or what she already has
#so I gave her socks and was like: now that you are an adult you get adult gifts.
#and she seemed to get a kick out of that
#but in general it’s helpful to 1) keep in mind if someone wants something specific
#2) keep in mind if there’s a type of theme they enjoy (e.g. space or fish or cats)
#3) keep in mind if there’s a type of object they collect (like mugs or magnets or merch)
#3.1) find a way to keep track of their collection and check on it (ask them if they’ve gotten anything new/are planning to)
#4) gifts can still be food or experiences it doesn’t have to be limited to An Object They Keep
#(one of the ‘gifts’ I was planning for mom was ‘let’s go to this scenic garden for an hour or two and I’ll take pics of you however long yo
#want and I won’t complain at all)
