Time to get your opinion
I have a cousin who was very passionate about the presidential nominations. Her candidate of choice did not win. Now she wants to spend money to send a thank you plaque to him. I think it is a stupid idea and I am not even sure that they can accept such gifts. Anyhow your thoughts.

I don't agree with many of my friends opinions either, and vice-versa.
I appreciate that we live in a country that still values that freedom.

Is she wanting it free, discounted or pay regular price for it. If the last, then do it. If the first, well, I'd politely decline.
I'd don't agree with everyone's opinion, but their money spends as well as the next guy with a wrong opinion (you know, the one that doesn't agree with mine)

thanks, not sure how she intends to pay for it. no doubt she is thinking with her heart and not her brain.

Maybe she's thinking someone else will pay for it for her?Originally Posted by cowboy1296

You're thinking of the wrong candidate that hasn't officially lost yet.

apparently she lost interest. And no if she came back she would not get it for free. The wood alone for my plaques cost 60-80 and that is my cost.

how big of plaques are you using

Not sure why its such a stupid idea, and I doubt if there is any prohibition on failed candidates accepting 1 off thank you gifts.
If its against your principles then don't do it, I have turned down requests for things I just would not create for any price.
Would be curious what kind of wood you use and size that costs so much.
