Week 6 EOC: Me x 3

I was given a Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel Korean Wedding dolls as a gift recently. It was one of those just because I know you would like it gifts.  I was very happy when I receive it and was smiling ear to ear, because I didn’t know Dear Daniel was the male character of Hello Kitty. I don’t obsessively collect Hello Kitty dolls, but actually receive them from close friends and family members. I don’t know, but every time I’m handed a new Hello Kitty doll I’m smiling looking at the small stuffed “child” toy. I get that same feeling of happiness; like, when I was small child and I got a new toy to play with. I realized I gravitate toward things that remind me of the good times of my childhood.

I recently bought myself a pair of red Jordan Eclipse shoes. I bought them because I wanted a new pair of shoes. Unlike, the “black” ones I usually buy and I also wanted something with color. I was looking around Foot Locker when I spotted these Jordan Eclipse. I liked the combination of the prominent red and black with the white sole. They looked minimalistic in their overall appearance. They appeared “futuristic” or more “modern”(for me) than the other shoes in the store. I realized I like things that are different or at least things that not the average person would buy, but minimalistic in appearance.

Not that long ago, I was given an Amazon Gift Card. I know most people would be disappointed about receiving a gift card than a “thoughtful” gift. However, in my case an Amazon Gift card is a great gift. Sometimes It’s not easy to tell someone want you want as a gift. Especially, when you know you rather pick out something you need rather than receiving something you don’t. I bought a couple of books for school with the Gift Card and a few miscellaneous things I wanted to try out. The gift card gives me the power to choose exactly what I want. Also, picking my own gift gives a peace-of-mind to the person who wanted to get me something that I really wanted. I like the convenience of getting what I want without overwhelming or confusing the person who wants to give me something that will not disappoint me.
