The end of the year is approaching, and the month of December could be called the month of empty wallets, parties, mulled wine, champagne and glitter. Christmas is almost here, and for him we know that this is a time of intense reflection, not only about ourselves and our own achievements in the farewell year, but also about our loved ones, about friends, about those whom we would like to give gifts to at least for this special day, cheered them up and gave them small attentions that would indirectly indicate to them that we love them.
But Thai people are almost always the ones who say that they don't need anything, that they don't want boxes wrapped in cellophane, that their desire is one and only, because it's not big, but enough for someone who is waiting for your call to at least in the coldest month heard yours warm voice. The satisfaction is certainly immense from both sides of the telephone receiver, especially if you promise to visit the person in question. But these are only rare ties that do not require of mutual gifting, on the other hand, there are those in which only a single word is clearly excluded. And how ironic, in fact, the biggest complete little "hypocrites" are precisely the youngest, because their incredibly long wish list pushes us into a real little psychological warfare with the overly commercialized super big stores. However, we are more or less to blame for this, since we taught them from a young age how to elicit a smile from a toothless mouth. And how to convince them that there is nothing wrong if racing car, Barbie doll, Peppa Pig figure, colorful Lego blocks … are not the most important thing in life … ? This is another, supernatural educational art of persuasion. Unfortunately, we all want pretty much the same thing, to love each other, just proving it is usually like an involuntary bribe, expensive or cheap, this small precious effect is always the same. Will he be happy, the question arises when we find ourselves in the midst of the immeasurable a large selection of gifts, and the importance of our work really only begins then. Choose the right one, a classic for a scholar, hi-tech for a geek, a soccer ball for a kicker, a pet for a lover, stars for a dreamer, Darth Vader for a fantasist, a surfboard or skateboard for an adrenaline junkie, a trip for a traveler, a chocolate specialty for a gourmet hedonist , ... is a crazy job, the peak of our shopping activity, with a sinking ship in our cash records. If I also add the accompanying temptations that lead away from our goal and all the previous preparation time for the made wish list goes to nothing, it is as if we were watching football final between England and Slovenia. A difficult and nerve-racking thing that makes sure that, regardless of the result, we are both happy in the end. But we can simply search concept store, where we will be able to buy something for everyone, and ultimately for the children together with a gift told and passed on a story that won't end up in the trash in adulthood, but on the shelf of childhood memories.
