A 'Fair' Exchange

I have this little tradition with my younger cousins during Christmas. It's an exchange of gifts, and this year our gifts are worth P30. My cousins are like eight to twelve years old, so they couldn't afford anything higher that fifty bucks.
I did my shopping earlier today. After I met with Eric at the gym, I went around Glorietta, looking for something worth thirty bucks. I almost bought two Pokemon rubber figurines, but I had trouble finding the popular ones, so I aborted the idea after like ten minutes of searching inside the glass drawers of The Gift Factory.
I was tempted to search at the Book Sale, but then I remember Julius (my Monito) yammering about how he cannot understand the book I lent him, which was weird because it lent him Tom Sawyer. I also went around the idea of buying him two spools of crochet thread, for he's very much fond of making friendship bracelets and I wanted to give him threads with nicer colors.
I went around different malls for like two hours. Then I started to feel that familiar feeling of almost fainting. So I just settled on a frosted Sylvester glass and went home.
The glass costed me around 80 bucks. Not bad. I figured I could spend a bit more since I'm earning a bit, and it's Christmas - I don't have an excuse to be selfish.
So guess what I got?
A Santa hat. And it has blinking star shaped lights on it.
Just great.

We did the same thing sa classroom this Christmas Season. Everytime na we'd have a regular class we have to buy something worth P20 pa nga. Tough ha!? Well, mostly foods ang binibigay which is good kasi nagpapalitan kami ng gifts every break na binibigay ng professors namin.
Cutting to the chase, I always give my all din in finding a nice gift. I've even exerted a lot of effort pa nga wraping the gifts eh.
Anyways, I am giving all the effort kasi one, ayokong maging kawawa monito ko, and two, I don't want Karma to chase my bum. (And I want to receive good gifts din in return)
So good for us. We are such good people of Mr. Claus.
Happy New Year!
