Shoot, I am talking about even simpler items or tasks. For example, I literally sent something from here that one can buy in NY I believe technically but because it is kinda of a gift thingy my mom wanted me to ship it for her to her relatives back there. I told her the shipping would be more than the cost of the item itself. She didn’t care. It’s the thought that matters. What if your NY partner picked up the task from there, buys the item easily, and then giftboxes it and delivers it at a fraction of the price otherwise? Obviously, need to do a lot of deliveries/tasks to make it worthwhile…
Amazon can do that for you. You can buy a gift and have it directly delivered to the person.

Oh well…that explains it then.
The action of giving away something has more value than the price of any object.
Like my friend years back. Christmas came and he gave me a…scrapper to add to my painters equipment. Thanks pal I said, next time you are drowning I will throw you a gallon of water.
This sounds like a coworker who actually bought his wife a vacuum for her birthday. Yeah, that was brilliant…
