What presents could I ask for?

1 Answer

Answer :

If you are spoiled and unimaginative, perhaps you might think of what someone else might like, and give your gift to a less spoiled person. It might begin to make you less spoiled, and you can be of serious assistance to someone else. It could be a food bank, or toys for needy children. You could pick them out and deliver them yourself. How about that?
