Is money can be a gift?

Flatmate’s birth date is on Sunday so we’ll have a BBQ in our seaside-resort-like area. I need to find her a gift but I have no idea even though I’ve got her wishlist. She will happen to receive money from her closest friends and no one but me seems to see the oddity of such a present, to think such a deal has to keep private, or to consider what it means in a supposed equal-to-equal friendship. That’s why I want to quest the most superficial (may be not too) but enough meaningful gift. Sounds like the Holy Grail is easier to localize…
By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow? See you at the concert?

So, I've got a question to the author: If you know for 200% that the best present for your best friend is apple, would you gift to your friend nuts or meat? [Keep in mind that you friend likes apple and in real need in vitamins that contains in apple for example]; 21 July, 2006 20:23

Gerald said...: does "sometimes" mean "when i've been upgraded senior"?

Anonymous said...: No! "Sometimes" means that you can think that you're presenting good substitute-product for apple, but in fact you can fail in your attempt.
P.S. I've already done it=)); 26 July, 2006 10:22
