My cousin's birthday was coming up and I wanted to give him a present. Although it was really difficult and I didn't really know what present to choose. So basically my cousin is really secretive. He never really talks about his favorite stuff, his hobbies. He just listens and responds. So I really don't have much information about him and what he likes. So I was having so much trouble choosing a gift for him. So I decided to take a guess. So I went to the retail store to find a perfect present for my cousin and I just didn't find anything suitable. I just didn't know what he desired, what he liked, or his hobbies. So this was just way too difficult and I just did not want to give him something that he's not interested in. So I decided to come up to his friends, his close friends, his close family members, like the ones he talks with the most. I decided to ask them what are his favorite things and they also didn't know as well. So I decided to come up to his closest family, his parents, specifically his father, my uncle. So I came up to him and asked him some questions regarding his hobbies, his favorite things, and telling him about the trouble I went through of choosing a present for him. And he told me everything I needed, what he likes and what he prefers, and he even suggested a gift for me to buy him. So I decided to go for his suggestion and I went to the respective retail store to provide this product. I bought it and eventually handed it to my cousin and he actually really liked it. So I'm really relieved, so relieved and happy that he liked it.
