I had thought I can't appreciate new clothes well enough, due partly to not having a say in what clothes to buy until recently. ChristianKI gave me an advice on how to tell my relatives what I would like to be given as gifts, and I thought (and think still) it's a good one. however, when I put on something nicer than usual, I noticed that it changed my attitude to some other things, too (I usually don't buy to-go food, reasoning that it can wait until I get home). So on one hand, I got a reasonable advice, and OTOH, I learned that the question itself was not what I should have asked [myself]. I think this is how using LW for personal stuff is done easiest, since the responsibility for a decision still rests with the individual.
