I give people gift cards," Lula said. "You could buy them in the supermarket. They're easy. There's gift cards for everything from Starbucks to Target and in between. I like them on account of the message they send. I figure it puts people on notice. A gift card says I feel obligated to get you something, but I don't care enough to put any effort into finding just the right gift. Gives people some idea of their place in your life, you see what I'm saying?
Lula shares her perspective on gift-giving, explaining her preference for gift cards due to their convenience and variety. She notes that they are readily available at supermarkets and cover a wide range of brands, from Starbucks to Target. Lula appreciates the underlying message that gift cards communicate, which she believes can reflect the giver's level of care and effort in their relationship with the recipient.
According to Lula, a gift card conveys a sense of obligation without the thoughtfulness of selecting a personalized gift, indicating the giver's feelings about their relationship. This kind of gift can provide insight into how one person perceives their connection with another, thereby allowing the recipient to understand their standing in that person's life.
