I shipped some homemade hot sauce to a friend. I moved away years ago and swapping homemade goodies like this once or twice a year has been how we have stayed in touch.
i wonder if lots of lemmy persons would enjoy such exchanges, and could be bothered to return the favor. should it be one time, or ongoing? rotating or stable connections? how would it be organized without risking identifying ourselves or our addresses? should ship to a nearby hotel under an alias?
Cirque de Soleil tickets to a friend of ours, and one to my wife so they can go together, on the last day of the show in January when we normally take vacation, and now they can plan a trip.
Gift-wrapped with a card and all, decades ago to my former significant other. That it was so long ago, and that I don't remember what the present was would seem to speak volumes against the significance. Damn my cold heart!
Last time I felt like giving somebody a gift was three years ago. Burned a DVD of Spicediver's fan edit of Dune (1984) and sent it to an old friend in a case with a printed color slipcover. With the first part of Villeneuve's adaptation set to debut I wanted my friend to see this great version of a flawed film we enjoyed together in our youth.
Few months ago I gave a few Famicom game cartridges to a former co-worker because his wife collects Hello Kitty stuff. Not really being generous; was happy to get rid of them as those characters kind of give me the creeps.
