RE: Drawing A Line To Receiving Gifts - KISS 110

Yes, gifts can also cause problems. A gift should actually be selfless.

So true. Some people have had to deal with so many problems because of the gifts they received. I wouldn't want that at all.

I think it also changes over time because you change yourself. I realised a few years ago that people were much happier when I brought them a jar of honey as a gift, or a small homemade picture, than a bought bottle of wine, chocolate etc. It was just something I made myself. It was simply produced by myself. It had a personalised touch.

Yes, some people appreciate it more when you gift them something you made yourself. I, sometimes do 😂

For myself, I now appreciate the intangible gifts more and more. If someone takes the time to visit me, does something together or has a good conversation, offline of course, then I see that as a gift. As I said, as you get older, your priorities change.

This is another angle, you know these days, people, though not all, are so much engaged their daily tasks that making time to show these little acts of kindness seems a little difficult.
Just yesterday I visited a close friend whom I haven't seen for a long time and I tell you, she was so happy and appreciated my visit. I was happy as well because I have actually missed her 😂

I appreciate your visit and the wonderful comment. Have a splendid weekend.
