So what do I do?

[Sunfire]

So last year for Christmas I printed out a pretty picture I took and framed it, and gave it to my friend. Well, they(her and her girlfriend) still have not hung it up. It's in their bathroom, displayed... but not hung up on a wall. Which I find ridiculous, since it's been a year, but maybe that's just me. It's a nice picture, and have printed out a few copies for other friends because they loved the picture so much... so I know it's not because it's ugly.

So because of that, I don't want to get her a present this year. Not to be bitchy, but just because I don't think she really deserves a nice present like that. So should I get her something low key, or nothing at all?

And, by the way, I had a gift exchange party, and we did the pirate exchange where you can steal other people's presents. Well, my gift was a pic of inside of the Vatican when I was there over the summer, and everyone fought over it. Like you can steal someones gift up to 3 times, and that was the only thing that got stolen 3 times. So at least some people appreciate my presents. :nc:

Am I being over dramatic? (over-dramatic? overdramatic?)

[princessKAT]

I also kind of have a dilemma and just wanted some quick feedback..

so I have a friend from college...we weren't like SUPER close or anything, but close enough that I we were gonna be housemates at one point for a summer...anyway I digress..she was pregnant and had her baby last week, but she had him super super early and now he's in the NICU and I don't know what to do..I want to send her a card but do I send a "congratulations on your baby card" (because he's very sick right now but she did have her baby) or do I send her a "I'm thinking about you card"? I'm conflicted and not really sure which to do...

[Sunfire]

Uhhhhh... I think I would send a very generic "I'm thinking of you" card... and then write a nice note in it?

[princessKAT]

ok maybe that's what I'll do then...I need to get on it though, she had the baby like a week ago, so I don't want to send it out all late and stuff

thanks for answering sunny d!

I know who your talking about, and I was gonna write a congratulations on her facebook wall but I didn't know if that was in order or not :o I would just do a thinking of you card with a nice note inside like Nikki said..

Sorry if I spelled your name wrong, you know I always do.. lol.

Oh, and maybe you should just get them a lowkey gift. I don't think your being overdramatic because they should apperciate it a little more than they have. Maybe they will get the hint if you just do something a little less.

Nicki-Go with something lowkey. I don't think you're being overdramatic. But I do kind of see their side. I moved 4 months ago and I still have some frames propped against a wall instead of hanging up just because I haven't gotten around to it. And if she is displaying it, it does mean something! I see where you're coming from but I wouldn't be offended just because of that. So go low key I'd say.

Kat-Thinking of you card.

[HipHopChristian]

Yeah I have some stuff I haven't hung up yet and I moved in 3 months ago... but I am lazy so. BUT, it's just dumb stuff of mine like framed duck pictures or something... lol. If it was an actual picture of someone or a gift I'd be a lot more quick to hang it up. I dunno, just me.

[pinky]

Nicki, you could give her a hammer and a package of picture hangers, if you want to get your point across (and be a complete biotch, but what's new about that? :tongue: ). :devil:

But, since it's Christmas, and the peace on earth, goodwill toward men stuff is in effect, go with something low key, like a bottle of wine or something that you KNOW she'll use.

Kat, I think a card that says you're thinking about her and the baby is right for now, and a homecoming gift later would be best.

[Sunfire]

Dude, she's lived there for like 5 years!

But ok... I bought a 4x6 frame and I found a cute pic of us from my wedding, so I am going to print it out. It didn't cost me much, and it seems pretty low key... but it's still something to show that i'm thinking of her during the holidays.

Ok thanks dudes! :D

[mofo_ohno]

I don't get it. The picture is displayed, correct? In a room with heavy traffic no less... you're up in arms because it's not HUNG?

Also, you have to understand that once you give a gift away, it's the property of THAT person, not you, and you shouldn't dictate what they do with it.

[HipHopChristian]

lol you're giving another thing to hang up..

that's cool though. I think they will like that :)

[whatsupbsb]

lol you're giving another thing to hang up..

that's cool though. I think they will like that :)
:nc:

[princessKAT]

:nc:

um what's with the face??

[Sunfire]

No! It's only a 4x6 frame! Too small to hang up. Just to put somewhere around the house.

[Sunfire]

:) :)

[SparkleHugs]

Nicki, I figure if you want to give them something then give them something, if you really dont, then dont. But I wouldnt base it on the picture you gave them last year (though if there is anything to be offended about i think it would be that its in their bathroom...lol) what kind of frame is it? cause i have stuff i havent hung up but just use the little arm thingie on the back so it sits on the table.

maybe they need a man to come hang it? lol

but yeah, i say do whatever you want. if you have something in mind that would be nice for them...then give that...if you are at a complete loss, then just give them a nice merry christmas card. *shrugs*

Kat, is your friends baby gonna be ok?

Katlin, did you completely uninstall AIM? ;) :p

[pinky]

Maybe Katlin just doesn't want to talk to you, Sparks.

Like in that other thread......


:wink:

[SparkleHugs]

Yeah, that's probably true.

She is talking to Kat Ho and Lanie up a storm but has me blocked. Sure, thats totally plausable. But what you forget Pinks is that Katlin loves me best. :p

[pinky]

Sure, Sparks.


So does Lance.





:rolleyes:

[SparkleHugs]

At least you finally admit it.

[pinky]

Only with a rolly eye smiley. :rolleyes:

[SparkleHugs]

Oh it can be accompanied with whatever emoticon you want, but you still said it. I can quote you.

[pinky]

And, considering that he likes guys, go right ahead. :roll:

[SparkleHugs]

He still loves me!!!!!

I am the best *** hag ever!

though, i really dislike being called a *** hag, I just couldnt think of a comperable term. lol

[princessKAT]

Sparks, I dunno, I really need to email her and see how he's doing..I never got that card out (or any holiday cards for that matter) work has been kicking my butt

[SparkleHugs]

Retail at Christmas is rather lame.

i didnt realize that my terms would be bleeped. oops.
