Dear Fonseca
All of the girls came into work yesterday and showed off the gifts they got for Valentine's Day. Our lunch hour turned into a heated debate about what's better... a homemade gift or a store-bought gift? I brought in my charcuterie board. My husband is a weekend woodworker and made it for me in our garage. Another woman showed off her diamond ring. She says her boyfriend saved for months to buy it. She and I got into an argument about, which gift holds more value. I think a homemade gift does. She says hers does because her boyfriend saved for months. Where do you stand on this?
