As the holiday season rolls around, everyone is scurrying around town trying to finish (or start) their gift shopping. Countless amounts of good intention are thrown into the gift search every year, but, inevitably, someone falls short. The gifts received do not mean half as much as the thought behind them, but, sometimes, you can see the gift coming from a mile away. So, let me break it down! Without further ado, I present the 5 types of holiday "gif-ters" as explained by gifs!
1. The Gift Card-er
Every year, "basic white girls" across the country are thinking: I wonder what is in this envelope with the Starbucks logo. Once again, the "gift card-er" has prevailed and you now get $15 of free drinks from Starbucks. Nope, we are not complaining, just knew it was going to happen.
2. The "I would LOVE to own this, so I'll get it for them" gifter
Maybe it's just my sister who falls into this category, but I end up giving her gifts back to her! This gifter seems to have ulterior motives when it comes to giving and receiving; for them, it turns into: giving to receive.
3. The "I Threw the Receipt Away so you have to keep it" gifter
More than likely, you love the gift from this person, but it's a size too small or the color doesn't match or, like these boys, the battery is too big. But, even if you just wanted to exchange, YOU CAN'T because the receipt is somewhere in the depths of the American disposal system
4. The Thrifter-Gifter
If you don't have a "thrifter gifter" in your friend circle, you need to reevaluate. They will fill your closet and bedside tables with miscellaneous items that you cannot live without. This shopper can find the ultimate gift, for the ultimate price, in the most ultimate place of hidden treasures- the thrift store.
5. The Thoughtful and Sappy Gifter
AKA: your mom. This gifter always finds a way to put a perfect gift under the tree. You didn't know you needed or wanted it, but now you have it and your heart is still trying to deflate from the "heart so full" phase you experienced after getting the gift.
**Disclaimer: I truly believe there is no such thing as a bad gift. This article was a humorous attempt at explaining some of the most predictable gifters.
