I bought some of my online friends a book each because I had some birthday money left over... They have them preceded to buy me some books worth MORE THAN I SPENT ON THEM... Like I'm happy but also you didn't need to one up me like that...that kind of defeats the point of me gifting it to you...
I don't think gifts are supposed to be equal in value, you just give someone you like something you hope they will like, and maybe they do the same?
the power of friendship is great
