DOn't tell anyone, cause I will deny it, but I'm a huge sap... I, as I think do most women, like gifts that thought went into. I want a gift that says the gifter actually knew me, and knew what I'd like. (One of my prize possessions is a Hello Kitty Glitter Lava Lamp, and if my apartment were on fire, I would grab this before my jewelry box - because the gifter knew it would make me laugh everytime I saw it - -it worked.)
If I want something, I will generally go out and buy it myself, so gifts, in my mind, shouldnt be practical, they should be something that the gifter knows I would enjoy but wouldn't necessarily buy for myself.
Jewelry - eh, I'm not a big jewerlry gal, unless it's meaningful, maybe engraved, or has my birthstone on it.
Books- First edition of an alltime favorite book of mine.
