#Person1#: When I think of giving a good gift, I think about my uncle.
#Person2#: Why is that? I know he gave you a snow globe yesterday. Doesn't that seem like a strange gift?
#Person1#: Well, I'll be honest, his gifts can be out of times, but they just make me laugh.
#Person2#: I'm glad. But my family always give very practical gifts.
#Person1#: Oh, like what?
#Person2#: We give gift cards of our favorite stores or even just money.
#Person1#: Emm, I guess those are useful. But they don't seem like very fun gifts to receive.
#Person2#: That's ridiculous. Gift cards and cash are always fun to receive.
#Person1#: Gift cards and cash are practical. But they're not very imaginative.
#Person2#: So, I can use them to buy anything I want. I like that.
#Person1#: But giving a gift like that is taking the easy way out. You're not taking the time to select a gift you know the person will enjoy.
#Person2#: OK, but what if the giver is wrong? What if you don't like the gift?
#Person1#: In that case, I'll just ask for the receipt and return it. Or I regift it.
#Person2#: Ah, how awkward.
#Person1#: Well, people understand. And I'm always grateful for any gift.
#Person2#: Really? If someone buys you something random, then they probably won't really thinking of you.
#Person1#: That's true. A good gift should be thoughtful.
#Person2#: So what makes a snow globe from your uncle so special?
#Person1#: Winter is our favorite season. We both love snow.
#Person2#: How nice. I see your point now. But for my birthday, please don't try to guess what I might like. A simple gift card is fine.
#Person1#: OK, dear.
#Person1# prefers funny gifts that are imaginative and #Person1# is always grateful for any gift, while #Person2# prefers a simple gift card or cash because it is practical so that #Person2# can buy anything.
