  • How do you feel about the idea of doing good deeds anonymously?

    • Awesome. It makes me feel like a super hero.
    • It's great... unless I want credit for something (like volunteering hours for school).
    • It's OK, but most of the time, I'd rather speak up and get other people involved, too.

  • What's your least favorite thing to unwrap?

    • Anything personalized or monogrammed
    • Overpriced designer stuff that I didn't want or need
    • Something I could've easily bought for myself at the mall
    • Boring necessities, like plain underwear
    • Stuff that feels generic, like it wasn't bought with me in mind
    • Cheap junk that looks like it's from a dollar store

  • When you give someone a gift, what's the typical response?

    • "Wow, this must've cost a fortune!"
    • "Wow, you really know me."
    • "Wow, you made that yourself?"
    • "Umm... thanks?"
    • "Thanks. It's an... uh... interesting gift."
    • Uncontrollable laughter

  • Which describes a T-shirt you might give as a gift?

    • I added the iron-on myself.
    • There's a designer name on the tag.
    • I'd never wear it, but it's still cute.
    • It makes strangers smile.
    • You'd never guess how cheap it was!
    • I considered lots of options before I picked this one.

  • What kind of relationship do you have with your hair?

    • I think my stylist really understands me (or I'm trying to find one who does).
    • I have a weakness for 99-cent shampoo and $10 haircuts.
    • I change my hairstyle a lot, and I like when people notice.
    • We don't have a strong emotional connection. When it grows, I get it cut.
    • I give it special treatment, like buying expensive products and going to a fancy salon.
    • I'll cut it or dye it myself if I'm in the right mood.

  • Would you ever give someone a gift card?

    • Only as a last minute back-up gift, if I didn't have time to find something better.
    • Only if I knew he/she really wanted one.
    • Sure. If I get one for a store I don't like, I'll pass it along to someone else.
    • I might, if I didn't know the person well, but real presents are more fun.
    • No, because they'll see the amount and know exactly how little I spent.
    • No, because they'll see the amount and feel weird if they spent less.

  • How do you feel about putting a cheap thing in a box from a fancy store?

    • A box is just a box. It's not like I'm promising the gift came from there.
    • I'd try to avoid it, because the person might realize the truth and feel let down.
    • I'd probably do it. And if the person thinks I spent a lot on their gift, that's cool.
    • I might put a toy ring in a jewelry store box, but only to be funny.
    • That's mean and misleading.
    • I'd probably decorate the box to cover up the store's logo, so it wouldn't be a problem.

  • Do you think it's okay to give old or used stuff as a present?

    • Yes, if it's something strange. I like surprising people.
    • Depends. If it's vintage, maybe. If it's just old, that's inconsiderate.
    • I think it's okay, if you personalize it somehow or explain why you chose it.
    • As long as the recipient can't tell it was used, who cares?
    • If you used it already, that's no good. If you unwrapped it, but didn't use it, that's fine.
    • I don't care if something's old or not. When I find the perfect gift, I just know.

  • Would you ever give someone a pen as a gift?

    • Maybe, if the person collects cool pens, and I found a neat one.
    • Sure, if I got one from someone else and didn't want it.
    • I might give someone a nice drawing pen and a sketchbook.
    • Maybe, if it's silver or something, and seems really special.
    • That sounds kinda cheap, even for me. But, hey, why not?
    • Yes, if it's the kind where the person gets naked when you hold it upside down.

  • How do you feel about giving edible gifts?

    • Peanut butter? Bad gift. Gourmet chocolate? Good gift.
    • If the person doesn't like it, they can always share it with someone else.
    • Homemade cookies are the yummiest thing on earth.
    • Food is boring... except when it's shaped like something sexy.
    • Food's okay as a gift, especially if I buy that food on sale.
    • I only buy food as a gift if I know the person's favorite flavors.
