In the world of materialism people are losing the meaning of emotions as they have no time for it. Thoughts are absent somewhere... Emails are replacing hand written letters...Handmade cards have given way to readymade ones and we are living on borrowed words as well as borrowed thoughts...Gifts are bought keeping in mind mostly designer labels and price tags even though sometimes they may not be all that appealing or tasteful. Today the  value of a gift is measured by it's cost...

I personally like a thoughtful gift than an expensive gift most of the time though I always appreciate all types of gifts. Of course gifts could be both thoughtful as well as expensive as long as there are true feelings behind it. Actually the thought behind a gift matters the most and not the cost.

A gift should never be judged by it's size or cost...The emotion behind a small inexpensive gift can be actually more valuable than anything as long as it is given from the heart.  Sensitivity must be demonstrated in giving and receiving gifts...There should be a personal touch in giving gifts and deep appreciation must be expressed in receiving...People always tell me that they enjoy giving me presents as they feel that I genuinely appreciate whatever they give me and I always demonstrate the joy of receiving them  through words of appreciation. I also make it a point to wear or use anything a person gifts me to show my sincere appreciation to them. It is always nice to make someone's day. Everyone needs to feel special. There should be happiness and pleasure involved in giving and receiving gifts...Never forget to compliment somebody on their choice of gift for you !
