From a small piece of candy to a property that costs millions, many times a gift can show how appreciated we are. The important thing is often not the monetary value, but the sentimental value. Gifting is as old as the world itself. Ancient civilizations gave gifts of clothing, sculptures, and jewelry for special celebrations. And that continues to this day.
Giving gifts can be considered a token of love. And we should NOT confuse it with materialism. We all like to receive gifts. However, there are people who greatly appreciate giving and receiving gifts, and in doing so they grow from the thoughtfulness and effort behind this act. These people, in particular, are those who keep all the details, cards, crafts and show it with total appreciation, fond memories of the beautiful moment when that special person took their time, dedication and resources to give that gift.
If you know someone like this, the perfect gift or detail to this person shows that you know him or her, that you care about him or her, and that he or she is valued above all else. On the other hand, a forgotten birthday, a hasty and thoughtless gift would be disastrous - as would the absence of daily details. Gifts are symbols of your heart and affection for your partner.
If your beloved one loves to receive gifts, take note of the following tips:
1. Special gifts do not necessarily imply a considerable economic expense: Send a photo or video of a past vacation, a chocolate or other sweets, a card with a dedication. Remember that the important thing is the detail of the gift.
2. Give a song, if you have musical talent, write it and sing it yourself, and if you don't have the gift of music, download it from the Internet.
3. Hide a surprise gift in your partner's wallet or purse. Or have someone deliver a surprise gift to his or her workplace.
4. Offer the "Gift of Your Presence" at a difficult or stormy time in your partner's life. For example, visiting a sick friend or caring for an elderly relative.
5. Anticipate birthday, anniversary or holiday gifts. Going to a mall helps. The possibilities are endless.
In Summary: Consideration, gifts and details, a special surprise, or gift just because. Remember that the Act of Gifting is an excellent Communicator of Love. Thank you for giving me the gift of your time in this post.
