I really loved the food one because my friend loves to eat expensive and tasty food. I did know that but didn’t care that much because I thought it won’t be that good of a gift. But, now that I think about it, it can be a really good gift and I think I am going to try out that one. Thanks a lot for sharing these ideas. I found them really helpful.
