On the other hand, my mom one time mentioned that she thought pigs were cute, and now her sister gives her pig-themed gifts every year for her birthday, 30 years later. "I don't really like pigs, she just thinks I do." I used to work with a guy who had at least a dozen pirate-themed t-shirts people had bought him, because he always wore pirate themed t-shirts. What's with the pirate shirts? "I bought one shirt because I liked it, then my girlfriend saw it and got me another one, now everybody just buys me more and more." Mix it up, gift givers, don't outsource your thinking.
