If I sell you anything, we’ll trade in valuables. It’s a transaction, and it is consider an equal exchange. You give me money, and I give you something in return. An agreement is reached.

A gift, instead, it is a gesture comes from your heart. You don’t need anything in return; a smile will make the job.

Giving a gift is an act of kindness and reflects the pleasure of making the recipient happy. You don’t need a particular reason to make a gift, not even a special occasion, when a present is unexpected is even more valuable.

Giving gifts is as pleasurable as receiving them, seeing the smile and the joy in someone opening them is an enjoyable moment for everybody.

The value of a gift

Adults who receive gifts are aware of the value of the gift, economically speaking. This is not common when you are giving a gift to a child, who does not understand the value of money properly.  However, most of the times the emotional value of the present exceeds the monetary one. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to impress.

We all know somebody who has it all, so even the most expensive gift would be useless for them if it doesn’t come from a place of love.A gift is an expression of thought, care, and affection.

Children vs adults

Receiving a gift is one of the most memorable experiences for children, especially on their birthday or during Chritmas time. There are gift that you will remember forever, like your first bike, that mobile phone you always wanted etc..

Adults, on the other hand, react differently because they are more aware of all the feelings that are present when they receive a gift. As an adult, you have access to money that allows you to buy what you want and what you need, so a gifts have another role.

Below are some reasons to give gifts.

You may want to have a special memory of a special event, such as a staff party, birthday celebration or baby shower. Not only gift are important, but also the settings and the environment.   After the party having something to take home is always nice. You can thank the guests later with a note, a call or a thank you card. No matter the occasion, everyone appreciates getting a thoughtful event gift!

To say “thanks”…

Giving gifts is a gesture of gratitude. There are times when you feel compelled to repay someone who has helped you or done you a favor. A small thought, a detail can show your appreciation and give happiness to the recipient, who will feel valued and appreciated.

Giving to keep in touch…

It’s weird to say but relationships can be strengthened with gifts. If you live far away from a friend or family member you can decide to keep in touch  by sending a gift for important occasions, or just because you want them to feel your presence even in the distance. Sending something special that reminds you of them is the best way to show you really care.
