There’s something about gift-giving…
…that makes it so heartwarming.
Thinking about what someone likes, searching for something that will also surprise them a little, pairing that with a thoughtful message, and that build-up of anticipation as you give it to them…these are the small pleasures of giving a gift.
Of course, when the recipient loves it, that is an amazing bonus.
Even research seems to point to how giving a gift boosts our happiness more than receiving one ourselves!
