- What is the best gift you have ever received?When I was 18 and had just found out that I had been accepted at my university, my parents bought me a watch as a present to congratulate me. It is an expensive brand and it was a complete surprise, I didn’t see that coming. To me the gift represents how proud my parents are and the time of my life when I started to make my own way in life.
- Do you enjoy buying gifts for other people?I am quite a thoughtful person and enjoy thinking about the perfect gift for my family or friends. For example, last year I bought my sister a ticket to go to a concert for her birthday which was for a band she had been dying to see for ages.
- Have you ever made a gift for somebody?Yes, I am studying art so doing crafts is right up my street. Last year, I gave my parents a hand drawn picture of the Eiffel Tower that I had made. It took quite a few hours so I think making a gift shows that you really care.
