Just another simple question to ask.....
-
Generally, do people feel that a gift, if bought at a discount, cheapens the thought and sincerity of it?
For example, lets say I want to buy my friend a present to celebrate an event. I walk passby a store which is offering a 20% discount storewide. So I buy something from the store and present it to my friend as a gift.
Lets say that one day he walks passby the store and finds out that I bought the gift at a discount, will he develop or have thoughts like "I probably bought it because it was cheap" or something similar along that line? -
it's the thought that counts la.

It's the thoughts that counts. No amount of material gifts can buy true friendships.

I have a certain mentality that waiting for a discount or buying something just because there's a discount cheapens the product.
But if coincidentally there's a discount, then great...
