I bought Red Wines from Mark & Spencers for giveaways to tenants and suppliers.

December 21st, 2022 10:58 AM #42but the cheap wine outlasts the fruit cake in the storage cabinet.
some time back, we bought danish-style cookies from online seller.
well, the cookies tasted bleh, and they were broken into pieces. either binalibag yung lata, o sinabugan nang granada yung container van.
nevair again.
the ones in the mall... well... we tried. hindi nga basag, lasang bleh pa rin.
so i wonder, where can we source the real high quality ones of olde?
we are not oenophiles, but the novellino gets our nod.
also, Mompo Mass Wine is surprisingly good. i would brave to say, "it's about halfway to cognac".
our basic guideline when giving gifts (but there are always exceptions),
"would we be happy, receiving such gift?"Last edited by dr. d; December 21st, 2022 at 12:00 PM.

It's the thought that counts. Also, cheap price doesn't mean it's not good. I like Goldilocks Mocha Cake. I usually have 2 cakes on my birthday, one Goldilocks and one premium cake.
Layo ng price ng Conti's and we refuse to patronize Conti's dahil sa Dutertard yan. Also, maraming mas masarap na cakes na hindi Conti's.

"food is usually a good choice. we all gotta eat, 'no?" even diabetics won't turn down good food. and after some days or weeks, there won't be none left to lie around the house to dirty it up.
when i give gift, price is usually not an issue to consider. within limits, of course.
what's wrong with giving red ribbon black forest, if (it's common knowledge in the group that) the recipient likes it, too?
i want to give something that i feel they will be able to easily use and appreciate.
sa exchange gifts naman,
i always wrap something that exceeds the agreed limit of such gift. i want the recipient to be happy and not just brake even. yes, there are still some folks who are mindful of the price of the gift...
one of my favorite gimmicks in exchange gifts, is to stick a couple of escodas around a can of fruit cocktail, then giftwrap the entire thing. meron nang pang-media noche, meron pang pang-gastos.
