for the first time in a few months, i have working headphones (with much thanks to j4cbo ). not having headphones means i haven't been able to properly listen to music regularly - currently idling and receiving aural stimulation, and I can feel my energy levels increasing faster than is perhaps healthy. combined with housecleaning, soon i will be

yeah. i rank that above buying someone a meal, due to effort/goodness/etc, though I'd be more prone to make stuff from scratch at no provocation than pay for a meal for no reason. buying someone a meal is the sort of thing i offer offhand as quick+easy repayment for something.

hm, i don't have great variety in terms of the sorts of things i could bake and then give away.

possibly a better way to think about the question would be where on a spectrum of "offhand thanks gesture" to "omg i will spend my life in debt to you" such a favour would lie, unless it would be a "this does me no good whatsoever" thing (like giving plain money).

I'm not sure life is as simple as "returning favours." When you're inclined to think about a person and do something *genuinely* for them with no provocation, the type of gesture related has a wide range of possibilities, and most rarely repeat their method regularly because people think independently for themselves and how they feel about that person. Money is almost never a good gift unless it's a niece or some other relative that you *should* give something, but you have no idea what else. It's extremely impersonal and kinda tacky

the question was not on the nature of people doing things for each other but rather on comparing specific things that are done, framed in a context that has been on my mind recently.

I answered your original question, but perhaps I wasn't clear: gifts are dependent upon the individual they are intended for. The more personal the gift (in appropriate context for social relationship!) the more it will likely be appreciated and convey the necessary message.
