You know how we receive 'generic' gifts during special days like Christmas and our birthdays? Most of us dislike it but I won't mind receiving the following so-called generic gifts for my birthday (which was yesterday, by the way :))
1. Bath products
I love baths! So I don't mind receiving bath products, provided that the scents are to my liking. No dizzy floral scents please. I'm really loving verbena-like scents ever since Shangri-La Boracay introduced us to L'Occitane products.

2. Chocolates
Who wouldn't like receiving chocolates? I have a sweet tooth so I'd appreciate it any day of the week! I eat all kinds of chocolate except those with mint. I feel like I'm brushing my teeth while eating chocolates. Weird.

See's chocolate boxes are the best!! |
3. iTunes Card
Any denomination would do! $5, $10, $15.. I really would appreciate any amount because I'm addicted to Apple apps! Seriously. Any takers? :)

4. Make-up
I say make-up not because I'm a make-up junkie but because I'm the opposite! If no one gives me make-up, I really won't buy any for myself. So, I love receiving them as gifts, especially the really complicated palettes.

These are only my top 4 generic gifts I don't mind receiving. Others would be room fragrances/diffusers/candles (again no dizzy scents please) and cute pouches (because I like my stuff organized inside my bag).
How about you? Do you mind receiving what they call 'generic' gifts?
