Gift giving is a two-way street, in that giver and receiver experience the shared enjoyment of the exchange.
For us at Rayneau Group of Companies, gift giving supply us 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.
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 - 3 more days
till Christmas, 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 in Corinth
