This does not contradict my argument. Of course you can give material things, I do, and I love receiving them! I mean, its important to make sure and make an effort that the receiving person appreciates it.

@denlillaapan has given me beautiful glasses and fine whiskey in the past! I loved those gifts because there was thought behind them! He knows that I love to make cocktails and he knows that we love to spend time together on the couch discussing philosophy, politics and economics over a good glass of whisky.
