I once asked my sons jokingly, “If one day you were going to give Mama a gift, what gift do you think I like the most?”
My youngest child, who was then in elementary school, immediately answered, “Perfume.” He guessed right. He watched me daily and knew my style.
Yes, I love perfume. It can lift my mood. I feel incomplete without spraying perfume after a shower, even if I was just at home all day.
The next gift I like is a large genuine leather handbag. The tote bag type is my favorite. A large handbag ensures that all the necessities are accommodated, including a laptop, cosmetics, and a tumbler. The bag adds to my self-assurance.
The next gift I like is flowers, especially the broad-leaved ones. This type of flower gives a classy and expensive impression.
By the way, among my family members, my youngest child and my sister understand best what I expect as a gift. Without previously asking, they surprised me with the gifts.
How about the others? They prefer to treat me to dinner out as gifts or ask first and then present the gifts.
