Help!- Does this Bath & Body Works gift look cheap?

Question

I had given someone a 4oz (travel size) body splash, lotion & shower gel, along with a small clear makeup bag, all from B & B Works. It came out to be around $13-$15 total. She got me a $20 gift card. I feel bad because I know she spent a little more. Does my gift look cheap? Do you think it matters, especially when you work with a lot of people & don't really know how much to spend, or is it really just the thought that counts? Thanks

I concur with the notions that

1 You took the time to pick something out.

2 It is the thought that counts.

3 It's only a few bucks difference.

And, it's still a good present. It's not as though you grabbed the first thing you saw at the dollar store. I wouldn't worry at all, and that goes double with "you work with a lot of people & don't really know how much to spend."

Answer 2

#1 if the person knows anything about B&B, they know that it isn't cheap. #2 It really is the thought that counts. Somepeople make there gifts at a fraction of the cost of ready made things. Also, have you ever been given a simple thing like a flower if so, then you know that warm feeling just because someone cared.

Answer 3

no! when I got a BBW gift a few years ago, it was a wonder that I actually liked--no, loved the scent--and still buy it to this day. Also, little gift sets are always fun. Yours was a nice little indulgent treat. ALSO, people usually give, well, crappy--stuff @ work, and you gave something GOOD. So don't worry. Once at my work, some jerk actually gave me a plastic box of plastic children's jewelry! Anotheer time, I got a horrible book--which the guy who gave it liked...I threw it in the garbage!

Answer 4

It's totally the thought that counts! Bath and Body Works never looks cheap. At least you got her good products!

Answer 5

you shouldnt have to compare down to the nickle what gifts cost. you took time to pick something out for her and that in itself is a gift too! don't allow this kind of thing to rob you of the Joy of sharing with others. Merry Christmas

Answer 6

no, it doesnt look cheap, i love bath and body works! but next year if you want to buy her somthing a litlle nicer you should probably go to Victoria Secret, and get some perfume it ranges from $40-$60

Answer 7

It shouldn't matter how cheap it looks, because to me it looks like you took time out to consider and do something nice for someone else!

Answer 8

That's not cheap it's only 5 dollas off...the thought does count.

Answer 9

Lip gloss is good for 18 months after first use. I don't know about your friend, its possible she just brought a bum bottle.

Answer 10

Definitely NOT cheap. Very thoughtful and I'm sure she will love it! There is NOTHING cheap about B&BW.
