... I think I'm going to send cash as a gift ...
Niece's birthday is coming up. To be fair, in the past, I have missed it on occasion. I believe I have valid reasons for doing so, but nonetheless ...
Most of those reasons are gone now (I'm no longer in school plus trying to hold down a job plus trying to LOOK for a job -- in my new field -- plus trying to spend quality time with my mother) and I've written to my sister asking what Niece, who is now in college, would like for her birthday, which is next month.
Sis says she is only aware of two things: boots (which Sis has already bought) and a very expensive item. It sounds as if she has passed along my question to Niece and is either not getting any response or some variant of "Whatever".
I should add that I am not even remotely close to Niece, as in: I have no direct contact with her at all and have not for many years now. The only contact I ever have with her is through my sister. So I'm not really inclined to wrack my brains trying to come up with something she might like.
So ... cash it is likely to be. Unless somebody here has some other suggestions ...
