Give a Gift For Christmas From Rayneau

Gift giving is a two-way street, in that giver and receiver experience the shared 

enjoyment of the exchange.

 

For me, gift giving supplies me with an armload of self-gratification. Gift giving is just 

one of the many ways you can show a person how you feel. Not just love but gratitude 

and appreciation as well. I use it as a way to let someone know that I am thinking about

 them. The smallest, out of the ordinary, unexpected gift, if presented with a smile, will

 yield the biggest reactions

Gift giving is both a benefit and a help.

 To give is the same with sharing. And to 

share is a relaxing act. Not only does it 

make a bond grow deeper, but it also 

gives a person the feeling of being kind   

and happy. Because for most people, to 

see someone happy

 multiplies their joy. The joy brings the feeling of goodness to the giver.

Giving gifts is always a problem. If you love someone, you want to make sure you give 

them something they really want. Ideally, you want to see that look of joyous surprise 

when they open the gift and even before they say a word, you know it was perfect.

But that doesn't always work.

It’s sad, really. You work so hard to find just the right gift, and then it doesn't fit …or it isn't the right colour … or it was broken in the box … or they already had one … or the design doesn't match what they already have … worst of all, it wasn't what they really wanted.

 

GIFT WRAPPED

That’s the worst—to give someone a gift they don’t really want. Nothing makes you feel 

worse. They unwrap the gift and then there is a short pause—just a microsecond—but in that moment you already know the truth. “Why, it’s beautiful,” they say. But you can see the look in their eyes. You put on a brave front and try again. “Do you really like it?” “Like it? I love it.” But you aren't fooled. It’s not what they  wanted. And drop by drop all the joy drains out of Christmas.

Then it came to my mind this week as I thought about the question—if I were going to give someone a gift for Christmas, what would I give him/her that he/she would appreciate? The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to get cracking and find some great sentimental gifts for our valued friends and acquaintances.

You know that well decorated food hamper? Or that old aged bottle of whiskey? If you 

want to be the one who avoid sending those cliched goodies, look no further. We at 

Rayneau have some better ideas for you this year.
