Sample answers

Well when it comes to gifts, everyone consider me to be that a difficult person who is impossible to buy something for. So my friends and relatives no longer try to guess what I might like, but ask me directly what I need. Last year I made my friends even more upset when I asked them to give me money and birthday gift because I wanted to buy a new laptop but I didn’t have enough money for that. Of course, my friends thought there was nothing fun about giving cash. Moreover, They understood that they wouldn’t be able to give me enough money to consider this computer their birthday present. They joke they would buy one tenth of computer for me. They were not as excited about it as I was, so they decided that if they could not afford to buy computer they would at least find some creative way to give cash so that I would remember it for a long time. They gave me a huge bucket of flower that were made from bank notes. They folded bank notes so that they resembled buds. To be honest, I thought they would give me a white boring envelope with cash. Can you imagine how I surprised was when I saw this bouquet. My jaw dropped in amazement. I am not joking. They manage to kill two birds with one stone. First of all, they gave me what I really needed. At the same time, I was pleasantly surprised as I didn’t expect cash to be so creative a gift. So money appeared to be one of the most memorable gift in my life.
