As we think of meaningful gifts for our family and friends, we
often have things in mind that we would be delighted to give but
then we need to consider the appreciation of the receiver. We
know that once we give a gift, it is no longer ours to decide how it
is used. Are there gifts we can give that are targeted for a purpose
that jive with the pleasure of the giftee, therefore, making the gift
most meaningful?
A gift that strengthens security, comfortableness, enjoyment,
satisfaction, and/or uplifts the spirit is the ideal. It brings the
presence of the giver and the receiver to the forefront.
