I'm going to the doctor, as I am not sure exactly what is wrong with me.
So, feel sorry for me and give me loves.

And now, The Epiphany of The Bad Gifter.
I am the worst gifter in the world.
The massaging car seat cover? I bought that for you.
The ashtray that says "No Smoking." Yeah, that was me.
If I draw your name on Christmas, or if I am showing up for your birthday party, please learn the polite, "Wow, how nice" and the fake smile. You'll need it.
I never have a good idea what to get people. Frantically, I walk up and down the aisles of a department store and grasp for anything I can find. Costume jewelry? Fuzzy socks? Mysterious gadget?
Sure, but where do the batteries go?
So, I end up leaving with a gift I know you wouldn't like. I wrap it with my head hanging in shame. I know you won't like it, but it is all I have to offer.
BUT...
Last week (conveniently the week after Christmas, go figure), though, I had an epiphany.
The key to buying a good present is to PRETEND YOU ARE THE GIFTEE. (is that a word?) If you put yourself in the gift recipient's shoes and picture what they would actually want... you are more likely to get that person a GOOD GIFT.
No more Chia Pets.
No more giant remote controls.
No more joke presents.
If I have any doubt in my mind after this, you're getting a gift card.

Bad gifters unite!! I love your thought on how to give a good gift. However, I'll probably be sticking with gift cards ;) .
I forgot the big hugs & the 'poor baby' . I really hope you feel better :( .
I'm playing my violin for you. It sounds all sad and melancholy because you don't feel well.
