Preference for my presents

My big days are coming up: graduation, moving & birthday. Like every year, I will come up with a preference list for my birthday gifts. First of all, thanks to all who have contributed to my last year's birthday present, which is a NetMD. It is still in an excellent shape.
This year I have an extra list for my graduation presents. I hope you don't mind that my demand. My intention is that I just wanna be effective. If you buy me a stuffed animal, I'll probably put it to "garage sell items" right away. But, I guess for those who will buy me graduation present have known me well.
For graduation:
- gift certificate of H&M or Mexx will be ideal. Because I'm lacking of proper outfits for job interviews and work.
- picture frame for my diploma. (One is very good enough; two is way way way too much.)
*please don't buy me a business card box or professional pen because there is no way I can make use to it.
For birthday:
- gift certificate of IKEA. Since I'm moving, there are many things I wanna buy for my new room. heheeee.
- books. For your information, I love to read.
- treat me a dinner. Obviously, I love to eat.
- treat me a drink will be great too becoz I love to chill.
Umm... I guess that's it for now. Thnx for taking time to read this and to think about my present(s). hehheheeeeeee.

Shameful feminist & Response to your comments

I had an interview for a program assistant position in a community service organization which concentrates on Chinese seniors. In the interview, the interviewer asked about the salary that I expect. And of coz, I said something that's a lower average for an entry position: 28000 - 30000. Then, she said, "Oh, our starting wage would be a little off from your expectation, 22000." She went on, "Plus, we will sign you as contract only, so there is no benefit, vacational pay and even over time."
I do not really mind about the low pay and stuff. BUT, it's too ironic that I've spent the last 4 years studyign about how women are oppressed, like wage gap, unequal opportunities in labour force and majority of ppl who are in poverty is women etc. And now, I personally become a woman in poverty, a woman that I've been studying about, researching of, supporting to and fighting for. HA. As a feminist, it's a shame.

Response to you comments:
Guys, thank you for your comments. First of all, I have to clarify (for lily) that I don't think it's a sexist problem, becoz a guy who in for this job will also get the same amount of salary. Anyways, there are too much to elaborate on this topic. Next, I dunno if they are going to hire me yet, since the interview was just 2 days ago. I've just send a thank you letter to the interviewer. And I really look forward to hear from them. As derek, jen, and donald's mom said, it will be a good experience for me. Actually, the job nature is quite interesting; it's just like preparing a program for fellowship. Plus, I would love to twork with seniors. I'm sure I will learn valuable lessons from them. So I think that it's not only the work experience is great, the life experiences and lessons will be wonderful as well.
Lastly, thank you for all of your prayers, especially jen who prayed for me piror my interview. And please continue to remind my job seraching and direction in your prayers. I love you all~ : )
