It's better to give....

[ActionAndy]

I don't mean to brag but I am an excellent gift giver. I'm also extraordinarily handsome and snappy with a joke (but that's mostly irrelevant). You're right, a gift with some thought behind it means quite a bit. I sometimes feel a bit "cheap" giving standard gifts--chocolate, flowers, etc. I really like to give something that would have only come from me, and only for that person. For my friend Ray's birthday this year I donated a flock of ducks to some african nation. I mean how strange is that lol...
