Article 7

Nowadays, economy becomes worse and worse, not only in Taiwan or America, but all over the world. It’s hard for people to save money for price of commodities becomes higher and higher and people’s salary do not rise. Since the environment and market can’t be changed, all we can do is change our consumption habit and living habit. We can buy fruits and vegetables in season because they will be cheap than those out of season; we can buy commodities while they are on sale, but there is one thing can’t be saved – presents! No matter how hard the time is, presents represent one’s intentions so that we are unable to skip this item. But it doesn’t mean the higher the price is, the more your intention represent. Thus, there is a new way to send presents. Now that the price of present is higher, why not do it on your own? If so, not only can show your intention but also is a money-saving way. With little money and time, make a unique hand-made present for the receiver, he or she will be happy because it is only for him or her. In addition, I think writing a card is also a good way. Sometimes a touching sentence is more touched than a present. Next time it you want to send a present, maybe you can try to make a unique hand-made present.
