The mail I am waiting for finally reached me today! I received my gift from the National Geographic. It is a jacket with the National Geographic logo on it! Cool!
The free gift was initially meant to be a small camera but as I had received it two years ago and know that it is not hardy, i requested to either forgo my gift or get a jacket (their other free gift I noticed for subscribers).
Was so excited when I received! I know it will be big as there is only one size and thus it has to be big to fit the different sizes of people from all over the world! Nevertheless I am happy with receiving it.
With much fanfare, I happily showed it to my sis and mum. The first reaction from my sister was that it was so big and she suggested that I can give it to her to give to my brother in law instead.
My knee jerk reaction is telling her that I will keep it for my own use (I love the idea of wearing the jacket with the logo and I can pretend for a while to belong to some expeditions etc). But after some thoughts, maybe the jacket will be better off given away as it is so big, almost twice my size, thus no matter how I love the National Geographic Logo on it, it is unlikely to look nice on me. Better for it to find suitable users rather than being kept in the cupboard with little use and only being taken out at times to admire.
Let me be not a hoarder of things. I guess I give it away, but maybe after a few more days of admiring it haha! Bye jacket! :)
i love big jackets :-) Can use it as a blanket
