[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is really odd to try and use money and material objects to respond to an act of saving someone’s life. To me it is a bit sexist. Like women are superficial and materialistic  and no matter what they do in life you buy them things. Same reason I hate engagement rings.

Reducing men to steak and a bj and women to flowers and jewelry are just really sexist traditions that I despise. Humans are not that simple minded. Personally I would be offended by a gift but I do get these sexist ideas do exist because there are some women who do care mostly about shiny and pretty things.[/quote]

Hold up, giving a gift out of gratitude is now sexist?

OP SAID he doesn't want to give "flowers or anything like that" but something "with some genuine thought."

Should I not buy the guy down my street who helped me fix my garage door a nice six-pack of beer that I know he likes?
Should I not send my friend friend her favorite NY bagels after she really helped talk me through a rough time?
Should I not buy my closest friends a bracelet engraved with our personal inside joke that made me laugh as I was dealing with my dad's hospice?

AMEN!
