1 Answer

Answer :

My favorite gifts to give are when the recipient has no idea I was going to get them a gift! For example, yesterday I gave my colleague a portable french press from Peet’s – she’s an avid coffee fan and in a cruel twist of events, our office espresso machine was taken away. She was completely surprised and its a gift that everyone will be able to enjoy.
