gift

Tag details

A gift is an item voluntarily given from one person to another for nothing in return. Gifts are often given on special occasions, like birthdays and holidays. It is also common to give a gift to express feelings of love, friendship or regret. Gifts are often wrapped in decorative paper, bows and ribbon.

Some gifts are commonly given for specific occasions. A bottle of wine is the perfect gift to give to the host of a dinner party. For a child, a toy would make an excellent gift. It is common for a man to give a woman flowers during courtship. Bloggers like to share tips about making homemade gifts and creative ways to wrap gifts.

Baby shower gifts might include baby clothing and other items useful to new parents. Expensive items such as fine jewelry are given in the context of a close personal relationship. The type of gift one chooses to give usually reflects the intimacy of one’s relationship with the receiver.

    Just a mom's take on things...Authority Authority: 124
