Well, today I was reminded of the gift I bought for one of my best friends who I've ever had in my life. She is not only my friend but also my sister. I bought a set of a necklace with earrings for her birthday because I couldn't participate in her birthday party, so I purchased this present and gave it to her several weeks later. Actually, I knew that she had been really interested in accessories such as earrings, but I hadn't bought this kind of gift for her before. It was the first time that I decided to purchase jewelry instead of other kinds of presents such as books, clothes, or decoration items. I'm very satisfied with what I bought and what she received from me as a gift.
