For us at Rayneau, gift giving
supplies one 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. You use it as a
way to let someone know that you are 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.
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 became mindful to us at Rayneau this week
as we thought about the question - if we were going to give someone a gift for
Christmas, what would we 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 clichéd goodies, look no further. We at Rayneau
have a wide range of fantastic gift ideas for you this year.
With only 2 shopping days left before Christmas, make your way down today to our hardware stores conveniently located in Corinth 450-7247, Vide Bouteille 450-7246, Monchy 450-7248 or Babonneau 450-5759 to find this perfect gift for this special someone! #everythingunderoneroof #ShopRayneau
