M: When I think of giving a good gift, I think about my uncle. ,F: Why is that? I know he gave you a snow globe yesterday. Doesn't that seem like a strange gift? ,M: Well, I'll be honest, his gifts can be out of times, but they just make me laugh. ,F: I'm glad. But my family always give very practical gifts. ,M: Oh, like what? ,F: We give gift cards of our favorite stores or even just money. ,M: Emm, I guess those are useful. But they don't seem like very fun gifts to receive. ,F: That's ridiculous. Gift cards and cash are always fun to receive. ,M: Gift cards and cash are practical. But they're not very imaginative. ,F: So, I can use them to buy anything I want. I like that. ,M: But giving a gift like that is taking the easy way out. You're not taking the time to select a gift you know the person will enjoy. ,F: OK, but what if the giver is wrong? What if you don't like the gift? ,M: In that case, I'll just ask for the receipt and return it. Or I regift it. ,F: Ah, how awkward. ,M: Well, people understand. And I'm always grateful for any gift. ,F: Really? If someone buys you something random, then they probably won't really thinking of you. ,M: That's true. A good gift should be thoughtful. ,F: So what makes a snow globe from your uncle so special? ,M: Winter is our favorite season. We both love snow. ,F: How nice. I see your point now. But for my birthday, please don't try to guess what I might like. A simple gift card is fine. ,M: OK, dear.
