In a world like the one we live in, it's super easy to "go big or go home". Don't want a small coke with your Big Mac? Supersize. Are carnations just not enough for your special someone? For $20 more, get them a dozen deluxe roses. After all, why get the store-bought sheet birthday cake when you can get the molten chocolate lava cake with mascarpone and strawberry coulis? (most AMAZING dessert ever btw).
Sure, those amazing things are ....... well, amazing, but sometimes, it really is the thought that counts. I'd much rather recieve a dozen homemade cookies, which take hours (and possibly hours of mistakes LOL) from a friend than some gourmet thing i only get to enjoy once. I'd prefer my favourite flower over a dozen roses any day, just because it shows that you took the time to listen to me and actually put an effort in remembering what I like instead of my just being another present to purchase. And I mean................. homemade cookies always top store bought. Every time.
