After all the Christmas wash up, I still have a few things lying around the office, such as a bottle of wine, some random decorations & the odd food item.
I'm presently working my way through some chocolates which would have been perfect to give to a member of the opposite sex. It's a high-ball glass filled with heart shaped chocolates & nicely wrapped in cellophane. I don't have a clue where it came from or how I ended up possessing it, but since the chockys are nearly gone, the evidence will soon cease to exist.
I feel guilty for indulging my chocolate fetish & consuming something which could have been used to brighten someone's day & potentially given rise to darkened room shenanigans!
My argument for not using them as a gift is, it would have been rude to use a second-hand gift. If I'm really keen on someone, I'd prefer to make the effort & spend some hard-earned, rather than rely on items which fall into my hands without any exertion at all!
I'd then feel guilty in knowing the gift wasn't something I'd put any thought into & isn't that the whole spirit of giving?
Overall, I think I'm just trying to justify my blatant consumption of the chocolates. Question is, would anyone else have made the same decision?
