The Worth Of A Gift Lies In Its Appropriateness Rather Than Its Size
After walking a long distance under the scutching sun for hours, you arrived home tired and dehydrated. If you are offered food at the period, you will not appreciate it but if you are offered water, no matter how little it may be, you will appreciate it and as a matter of fact, you will get the maximum satisfaction.
It is not bad to give gifts, to be sincere I love to give gifts. In my town, we do not visit an elderly person or a person of high reputation without going with a gift, so giving gifts is not a bad thing but is the gift of value at that moment?
A bone in the hand of a goat is useless but in the hands of a dog, it is precious.
A friend of mine celebrated his birthday, so he got lots of gifts. He started opening the gifts and in one of the gifts, he saw a soccer boot and my friend doesn't like football or sport generally, he took the soccer boot which looked very expensive and gave it to his brother who loved soccer and he said to me, I like the gift and I'm glad he gave but it would have been more appreciated if he had given me a simple greeting card.

Also, there are so many people who can make unending promises, they can promise you the entire universe but will eventually not give you or delay it.
A small gift is better than a great promise
I learned a lot from my dad and one of which is "never says you will give what cannot afford" This thing has been my watchword for a long time as I have learned that giving delayed is happiness denied.
Never say what you cannot afford, It will bring your reputation low if you are unable to do what you promised. It is better for people to say "you don't have to give that was why you could not give or say you what you could not afford" than for them to say "he said he will promise to give us but he failed" as the will destroy your credibility very fast.

Thanks to @elyaque for my first badge
You ability to coin words is such a sweetness to behold, thank you for this ❤❤❤❤❤
Most often, people instead of appreciating the significance of a gift, direct their consciousness to its size.
Thoughtful of you@gbenga
No matter how small a gift is, it is to be appreciated cos it is a symbol of love to the receiver.
wow
beautiful, thanks
so on point boss, but in my on view, I will say a gift should be appreciated whole heartedly, not minding what kind of gift it is, unless if you perserve mockery in the essence of giving the gift or the type of gift giving.
That's also true. I personally appreciate all gifts
Another thing about present is the person who gave you the gift. Eg. my mother gave me gold necklace as a 15th birthday present, like her I'm allergic to metals, especially when I'm sweaty. Took it off during a football game and it got stolen. Dang. I still miss that necklace till today. It's not about the value of it, just that I won't be getting another gift from her.
giving gifts to another person will show that you love and care about him or her
Good point. But let me add this, Its not all about giving gifts dear, you being there at all times speaks far better than gifts, Gifts will ware out someday but your scarifice will always speak.
also true
I do agree that a small gift is better than a big promises. For my point of view its better to surprise your loved ones for the gift rather than promising them and failed at the end. A simple gift will become more special and memorable when you give it with surprise that is he/she never expected it.
Giving gift in a surprise manner will somehow raise its value and becomes more sweeter to remember. The tendency of human being can easily remember things that were very special to them. The surprise gift today will be the sweet memory in the future.
Better give your gift in a surprise way rather than promise everything and failed.
Nice article @gbenga. It somehow taught us to be prompt to our promises if we do so. Followed you and ill be waiting for your next post :)
Thank you for taking time to read my post
You have said it all my friend. Last Sunday, I celebrated my birthday and gifts were given to me by friends. I appreciated every gift but the one I appreciated most was the presence of my friends I called family. Thanks for this piece of work. Steem on.
Gifts are precious either big or small. I'm glad you appreciated the gifts your friends gave to you
nice motivation my friend
which one
