There’s nothing like watching a loved one open a gift that you have thoughtfully selected just for them and their face lights up with delight because you have found something that they truly enjoy. When you consider the person to whom you are giving the gift and the different things they like and don’t like you are not just purchasing or making a gift you are actually getting to know that person so much better. You are exploring their favorite items, favorite foods, favorite activities and all the myriad of things that make them who they are. It’s really quite beautiful and gift giving can help you get to know the gift receiver in a more profound way.
