[FP] Crappy presents

I hate buying presents for people, mainly because I can never make up my mind on what to give them. When I was young, I read from picture books that almost every child buys their dad ties and make them a card for Fathers’ Day. However my dad never wears a suit unless he has to go to a wedding. I know my dad loves Gundam Seed models, but there are too many seasons of Gundam. Almost all the models look alike, I didn’t know which model my dad likes the most and can’t even tell them apart. At that time I didn’t know that I could research the information online. So I gave up on buying him a gift and decided to try and make him a card, I never realized how crappy my drawing actually is until I really start to draw. I know that it’s the thought that counts, but I want the card to be perfect when I give it to my dad. So I redrew and redrew the card and eventually Fathers’ Day has passed before I have lost my opportunity to show my appreciation towards my father. When it comes to buying presents for my friends, I completely screwed up too. I know what they like, but I never know where to buy them. Also I always felt that I still have plenty of time left to buy the present on eBay or online shops. Then when it’s about two days before their birthdays, I would realize that there is no way the present could be shipped here on time. Then I would have to hurry to the nearest shop and buy something random, or chip in with my other friends. I often feel bad when I gave them the present because I know that I could give them a nicer present that they would actually like instead of the crappy one they received, if I wasn’t so damn lazy then.
