Henry van Dyke Jr. once said, “It is not the gift, but the thought that counts.” A giver often puts in lots of effort while deciding on and procuring a gift, which is why the receiver appreciates the sentiment and values the gift more than its actual worth.
According to The Independent, such was not the case with an unidentified girlfriend who didn’t want her boyfriend sending over desserts to her house as she “disapproves of food deliveries”.
She said that gifts should be given according to the receiver’s preferences and that ordering food online made people lazy, poor and obese.
