According to the actress, she considers cheap gift as a waste of money, adding that they do no attract genuine appreciation.
Sylva went further to advise people who do not have enough money to buy expensive gifts, to go for artistic or handmade item as they are more appreciated and full of thought.
She wrote,
“I hate cheap gifts. No, this is not a bourgeoisie mentality. Cheap gifts make no sense economically. The person you are gifting it to will not appreciate it, they’ll smile, thank U and throw it away once you leave. So its just a waste of money and leaves no sentimental gratitude
“If you don’t want to spend money on a gift and you’re not artistic enough to make something handmade that will be very personal and full of thought, then just buy something edible like biscuits, chocolate or ice-cream. Everyone loves to eat
“Someone said even chocolates have grade. This is true but I bet a woman would appreciate even if it’s some bars of mars she can munch on than 500 earrings she’ll never wear. Same price.” She added.
