That's so true! I feel the same way about it. I don't care how much it was, and I never expect gifts, so just the person thinking enough of me to think about it and get me something is great. I am a true beleiver in "it's the thouht that counts". Mu husband bought me a watering can for my plants, because I didn't have one. While most people would think, how stupid is that? I thought wow, that was really nice that he noticed I watered my plants with a glass, and thought about me enough that the convenience of having a watering can for my houseplants would be appreciated. The thoughtfulness someone shows for simple things like that is what matters to me the most.
