Flattered. Thank you, Cooper! Merry Christmas.

Shoulda started sooner. As for actual gift advice, I mean, usually asking the person you’re getting the gift for what they want is the better place to start, unless it’s like coworkers/people you’re not entirely close to but feel obligated to get gifts for anyway.

Possibly. Oh, do you? It’s mostly for some of my family members. I may ask them, good point. Maybe there is something they need in particular. Thank you!

I mean, I think it depends on who the gifts are for, in terms of whether I have suggestions, though waiting until so close to Christmas to even come up with ideas is just a terrible idea.

They’re mostly for some of my family members. My work colleagues and I never get each other anything because we have figured out that all we need is our patients being happy. It might be an awful idea, but I can’t help it, I have been way too busy.

At first I read that you wanted ideas for terrible gifts and thought ‘yes, I love a good novelty gift, I can help’ but then I thought well that doesn’t make a lot of sense because why would you purposely want to buy bad? Anyway, I think it depends who you’re buying for and your price to range to be honest. What were you thinking?

Oh, no my dear, I definitely need some excellent gifts. I need something classy and beautiful for my parents and small gifts for my cousins to show them that I remember about their existence.

You’ve only just started gift shopping  oh man you need to get a wriggle on for sure. 

Sorry that wasn’t much help was it.  What about looking on sites like Etsy , get some personal gifts and help out small independent artist at the same time. 

I’ve been incredibly busy, and while Christmas is a truly wonderful holiday, my work duties always comes first.

I’ll give them a look, thank you.

Without knowing more about who these gifts are for, I can’t give you specific suggestions, but in general, any gift should meet at least two of the following criteria:

Something they want and/or need:

That they can’t afford/would never buy for themselves

That provides an opportunity they might not otherwise have to explore an interest or hobby

That provides an experience they might not otherwise pursue on their own (this one works especially well if you or their significant other can tag along for to share the experience and/or for moral support)

That commemorates a significant moment or event in their life that is shared with the giver.

Greetings, Rachel! Thank you for your input. These are some wonderful tips I’ll definitely use. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t really had much time to give some of these a thought. How have you been?

I can give you a whole heap of ideas, but without knowing who these gifts are for, I can’t promise that any of them will be incredible.

Excellent! I knew you would be the right person to ask for help. They’re mostly for some of my family members who don’t have any specific interests. I’d like to get something classy for my parents, and small gifts for my cousins.

I want a Poe Dameron’s x-wing fighter helmet please.

You’re a relative, Cooper. I asked my online friends for advice. Therefore, you’re not allowed to answer the question.

Thank you and yeah they are doing pretty great in all honestly. Oh you’re from London? Sounds like a nice plan. Seeing family on special occasions is important. 

I’m happy to hear that. Yeah, lived there most of my life. It’s an outstanding city. Correct. I’ll be flying out on Christmas Eve.

[chrisreaddie]

Christmas is coming, and I need some incredible gift ideas. I’ll happily ask some of my online friends for advice, so please message me if you come up with something reasonably interesting or classy. Many thanks!

Hello People of Tumblr, I feel like i have been away for so long, but I have just been enjoying my time with my family before I go back to work in December for the busiest time of year. But I am so excited for Christmas this year, my dad is joining us alongside Arthurs parents and it’s going to be a real family day and I am very excited. How is everyone? And what is everyone’s plans?

Welcome back! So good to see you on this devious website. I’m happy to hear your family’s doing quite alright. Personally, I’ll probably visit my parents in London for Christmas; it’s been long overdue. I suppose it’s time to take some time off and focus on the family’s duties.

You didn’t, because it is interesting, it’s just also frustrating. Thank you for the offer, but I’m good. It’s a good quality to have, that natural curiosity about the mysteries of this world.

We always say, who better to make and distribute adaptive technology than people who actually need it? You never really know how something is actually going to work in a real life situation if you’ve never been in it yourself.

As an athlete anatomy was, at times, my favourite, but not always. I did enjoy psychology, immensely, though. I suppose organic chemistry coming naturally for you was probably a good thing, all things considered.

I can see that. You are very welcome, if you need any help, I’ll be there. I suppose so. Sometimes I tend to be way too curious, although I assume it comes with the job. 

Right? I completely agree. I am positive it’s how they invented the ultrasound or the x-ray. Apologies, my mind’s full of medical comparisons.

It makes sense. Oh, it absolutely did. Pre-med times were very joyous. Where did you get your psychology degree?

[chrisreaddie]

What do you do when you aren't working?

Oh, I tend to stay busy, even on days off. I get involved with some engaging activities like reading, visiting museums or watching movies. 

[chrisreaddie]

What is your favorite movie?

That would be Inception. However, I may change my mind one day. Hollywood keeps on making some brilliant movies.

How thoughtful. There’s nothing I’d be less inclined to do.

Hello Chris, how has life been treating you? It has been a fair few months since I last saw you. Cooper and I missed out on the last Anderson Christmas due to work at Book of Mormon. I’m not sure what we’re doing for this holiday season. We’re hopefully spending it with my daughter.

I heard your work is being published, congratulations are in order.

Months later, and I’m starting to regret my decision.

Greetings! Life has been pretty eventful with my research projects getting published and doing what I’m best at. Oh, yes, I quite remember. What a shame! I hope you’ll join us this year. Make sure to say hello to your daughter from me.

It is! It’s quite remarkable. Hard work truly pays off, but you’re obviously the one who is fully aware of that. How have you been, my friend? 

[chrisreaddie]

When was your last date, and did it lead to a second?

It was over a year ago with one of the doctors I met at a conference. Although it seemed like we hit it off, both our schedules wouldn’t let us meet for a second date.
