a starbuck bear

a starbuck bear

Recently I went to Australia. I purchased only two things for my family.
One is a shoes to my one year old niece. The other is a soft toy bear from starbucks.
This bear wear a jacket and really cute.
The bears from starbucks always have the name of the region. This time “Australia”!
I purchased this for my parents since I thought if they keep it in the family house, it would be a good remembrance of my trip.

However my mother gave it to my niece.
I asked her to keep it at home so that it will make a good collection.
I am not happy about this.
Of course, I can not ask my sister to return it. So I just say to my mother “Next time I buy a bear, please keep it at home so that it will make a good collection. ”

My mother do not really care how I feel, I often feel complain.
I remember when I buy her a birthday present to her some years ago, she gave that to her relative in front of me the next second. I think maybe she just does not understand people have feeling or she is living in a different culture.
I think I should respect her culture.
I understand after we give a presents to someone, we should not concern what that person is going to do with it because we are not the owner anymore.


By the way, this picture is not mine. So the bear has a flog of China.
Mine was “Australia”. Other things are completely same.
