Women generally like accessories. I was like that, too. This computer-savvy female student is helping me with my project. Of course, I pay her for her hard work, but as a token of appreciation, I gave her an extra gift of accessories that girls love. When I let her choose two necklaces that fit the autumn vibe, she was so happy that it put me in a good mood, too.

I have loved giving gifts ever since I was young. If I were to gather all the gifts I've given to my neighbors around the globe over the past 26 years, it would probably fill several trucks. Perhaps because of that, I receive a lot of gifts in return, and whenever I do, I almost always give them to my students. Even though I receive countless cosmetic products as gifts, I don't wear makeup, so I usually give them to international female students who have come to study abroad.
