Why give gifts

Every gift, even the smallest one, becomes a great gift if you give it with love.

Gifts necessary and unnecessary

We love getting gifts. In fact, we like to give gifts, too, because our self-esteem is flattered when our friends and loved ones rejoice and thank us. Only gifts are different.

More than once we received gifts that we didn’t know where to put. I, for example, for a long time put them in a bag, which I called “unnecessary,” and when the bag was full, I took it to the thrift store and just gave it away. Then, after all, I told most of my friends that I’d rather have them ask what I’d like to get as a gift than waste money senselessly on something I don’t need. But the package with “unnecessary things” remains, although it fills a little slower…. Not everyone was able to explain, some were offended. So in order to avoid misunderstandings, I quietly take and put in a bag with the “unnecessary things” that I received from them, continuing to replenish the charity store from time to time.

How to give gifts properly

Let’s talk about how to make gifts so that they bring joy. First of all, do not be afraid and do not hesitate to ask what the person would like to receive a gift. Frankly, all these gift stores are a completely useless thing that kills our sense of creativity and numbs us from thinking creatively. Because a real gift doesn’t even have to be tangible. After all, his main task – to give people joy, to cause a sincere smile and a feeling that you love, about you care, want to fill you with warmth and light.

And this attitude gives the giver even more joy than the recipient of the gift. I, for example, just love, being somewhere in the city, to go into a store with Indian trinkets and buy something for my close friend once again, because these ethnic things are her weakness. And I am enjoying it, already initially imagining how she will splash her hands and laugh happily when I take the gift out of my purse.

It should be the same in the family. It does not matter the price or prestige of the gift, but only the importance of the desire of my loved one. I want to dissolve in my beloved, to feel his desire and fulfill it, and completely free of charge, without expecting anything in return, otherwise it would no longer be a gift. If I expect any gratitude, even a “thank you,” it would be a self-serving exchange.

To give love

A gift is a completely unselfish action, a GIFT. A gift implies something that is done out of love and deep respect. I get even more pleasure than the person I am gifting. And when there is such a relationship in the family, when each member of the family gets sincere joy from giving the other gifts with love, then we can already speak of a new, more spiritual level of relationship. Love lives in this family, and you can never have too much love.

Let us give each other love, remembering that “every gift, even the smallest one, becomes a great gift if you give it with love.
