Her Booklist

Just ordered some books from a certain author for my penpal's birthday. I have done this for the last decade or so but this time I was better organized: having a booklist of what I had sent before. Almost kicked myself when I realized twice now, I had made a mistake of sending her some books which I had sent her before.
On second thoughts, it was her fault really since I always begged her to send me the booklist (of what books she had already got there) but she was always vague in her replies.
Do you often spend a lot of time every year getting birthday gifts for your good friends' (or loved ones)? For this good friend, at least I have finished with the duty for this year. Until next February

@YrNemo I gave cash a few times when I was lacking of ideas, and PayPal money once. Gift cards are restricting what you can do. I finally joined Bing Rewards a few days ago (I started a discussion about joining it in 2017, it took me time
), and they have mainly gift cards, I dislike that.

Wish it could be less bothersome, like, giving the money to the person, saying, 'here is the budget for that birthday gift, take it & pls get out of my hair!' 
. (but do they really expect the birthday gift in the first place??? perhaps they don't (or perhaps they do???) - perhaps a gift voucher will be better?

Maybe she is like me reads them then donates them so she might not still have them to tell you. That does stink you sent her two you had already given her. That’s so nice you send her gifts. What is the author you ordered books from this time?

. I can't read books with too much dramas in the middle (prefer none really), or if there is anything, then they must be detective stuff. No soap operas type!!!

She sent me things faithfully for the last 3 decades . I begged her to stop, she didn't, still doing it really, so I have to do my part here .
