| Any gift purchased because you would feel bad if you did not get something for a certain occasion. I truly would rather have nothing but a hello or a picture with you than to clutter my house/desk/basement. Some reasoning... I have a problem with collecting things and odd sedimentary values and I have too much stuff that I do not use. It is imperative that I learn to get rid of this excess stuff but I dislike the dump so it makes it difficult. |
