I have purchased off ebay, a birthday present for my friend in New Zealand.
It is a present which I don't have to pick up, I don't have to post, I don't even have to gift wrap it! The seller has promised to do all that for me, and even write a small note if I dictate what to write.
In fact, there's a good chance this gift will never even be closer than several thousand kilomiters away from me.
Bless the internet, which allows me to be thoughtful without lifting my lazy ass out of my seat!
