When I completed my Master's and I was leaving from my college, my juniors from the same lab gifted me a wristwatch as a token of love. It is a grey coloured watch with metal straps. It is special for me because it describes the bond I share with my juniors. It keeps me motivated. I use this watch on a regular basis. Whenever I feel lonely, I look at this watch and recollect the memories which I had created with my juniors. Moreover, this watch symbolises the respect my juniors had towards me.

Follow up questions


What other gifts have you received that are meaningful to you?
I have received several meaningful gifts, but one that stands out is a handmade scrapbook from my friends. It contains photos and messages that capture our time together. This gift is special because it reflects our friendship and the memories we've created over the years.

How do you think gifts can strengthen relationships?
Gifts can strengthen relationships by showing appreciation and thoughtfulness. They create shared memories and can symbolize important moments in a relationship. A meaningful gift can convey emotions that words sometimes cannot express, fostering a deeper connection between people.

Do you believe that the value of a gift is more about its cost or its sentiment?
I believe the sentiment behind a gift is far more important than its cost. A thoughtful, inexpensive gift can hold more value than an expensive one if it reflects the giver's feelings and the relationship shared. It's the thought and effort that truly matter.

The best gift I received was a Titan wristwatch. It was beautiful. It was silver and gold. Oh, and I received it on my 39th birthday. It was the best gift because it was something I never expected. It was given to me by my husband and children. They'd never given me a gift before that. When I received that, it was like the biggest surprise of my life. I love watches, so I had a lot of watches. But eventually, this is the watch that I wear the most. It is my prized possession. It is something that I can match on all my outfits. And it looks beautiful. And I love to show off that watch. Most of the times, I wouldn't mind changing. But then I end up wearing the same watch. I have seen many other watches. But by far, this watch beats them all. As I said, it's silver and gold. So it goes on every outfit. And the battery has really lasted very, very long. It's been like 3 or 4 years. But I've hardly changed the battery once or twice. And this watch has little diamond tees on them. And none of them has fallen in the last 4 years. So it's something that I really treasure. In fact, the night they gave it to me, we were watching TV. And they just came and surprised me. It was not only the watch. I got a box of chocolates. I got a perfume. And I got a card along with the watch. So this gift is something I will always treasure.

Follow up questions


What other gifts have you received that were meaningful to you?
I've received several meaningful gifts over the years, but none compare to the Titan wristwatch. Gifts like handmade items from friends or family have also been special, as they carry personal significance and show thoughtfulness.

How do you feel when you give gifts to others?
Giving gifts brings me immense joy. I love seeing the surprise and happiness on the recipient's face. It feels rewarding to know that I can make someone feel special, just like my family did for me with the watch.

Do you think the value of a gift is more about its price or its sentiment?
I believe the sentiment behind a gift is far more important than its price. A thoughtful, meaningful gift can have a lasting impact, while an expensive gift without personal significance may not hold the same value.

I got a lot of gifts during my childhood but among these my favorite one is the dinner set. The dinner set was gifted to me by my grandfather during my 7th birthday. I still remember this gift because it has a special connection with me during my childhood era. I am a kind of person who is always interested in playing in the outdoor activities such like making dinner and making a home in our local language it is called as the Kuttipura and that I am fond of such kind of activities. So my grandfather noticed my interest in such kind of activities and he gifted this dinner set to me. It has 5 bowls and small spoons all of them are multicolored green, blue, yellow, white all of them are such color. I make a lot of food by using this dinner not the exactly food it means I use the mud instead of rice, I use the different kinds of leaves instead of the curries that was my food during that time and I still remember that I spent a lot of time with this dinner set and I am little bit possessive towards this and the most notable thing is I still kept it in my shelf as a memory because when I see this gift it always remembers my grandfather's moments and I like to spend my time with this.

Follow up questions


What other gifts have you received that were meaningful to you?
Apart from the dinner set, I received a bicycle from my parents on my 10th birthday. It allowed me to explore my neighborhood and made me more independent. I also cherish a handmade scrapbook from my best friend, filled with memories of our adventures together.

How do you think gifts can impact relationships?
Gifts can strengthen relationships by showing thoughtfulness and care. They can create lasting memories and symbolize shared experiences. For example, my grandfather's gift made me feel loved and understood, which deepened my bond with him.

Do you believe that the value of a gift is more about its cost or its sentiment?
I believe the sentiment behind a gift is far more important than its monetary value. A thoughtful gift, like my dinner set, carries emotional significance and memories, while an expensive gift without personal meaning may not have the same impact.

Well, there are a number of gifts I have received from my childhood, but I vividly remember the one gift I have received from the child, which was when I was working in the hotel. So I remember, I was doing check-in of the guests, and there was one of the guests who had came before also. They had came in the morning time, and I remember the child was very happy to see me again. And when I had given him a check-in, after that he bought a gift for me. Even he opened his luggage in front of me and gave me a gift, which consisted of toffees and the self-made card, he had made the card, which brings me a lot of joy and excitement as someone gives me a handmade card, as I never received the handmade card. So that gift gives me a lot of excitement, and I feel always nostalgic whenever I see that gift. Apart from this, I remember the child was very much excited to play with me again, as I remember when he had came before, so I had played with him, when he had bought his car and some toys with me to play, even our sir also didn't told us anything. So he was also happy with me, and when I asked the child what he wants from me, so I gave him my chocolate, which I have received from someone, and he was very happy after the time I had spent with him, and his parents were continuously telling me that the child was telling him to meet with me, and I was very happy and excited that the children are the God gifts, and when someone gifts you something precious, people always love to take care of that thing, and some of the people who do not take those things, who do not take care of the things, it's not good.

Follow up questions


What other gifts have you received that were meaningful to you?
Apart from the handmade card and toffees, I have received several gifts over the years. One that stands out is a book from my parents on my birthday. It was special because it was a book I had wanted for a long time, and it showed how well they understood my interests.

How do you feel about handmade gifts compared to store-bought ones?
I believe handmade gifts carry a special sentiment because they show the effort and thought put into them. They often feel more personal and meaningful than store-bought gifts, which can sometimes feel generic. The time and creativity involved in making something by hand make it unique.

Why do you think gifts from children are often so special?
Gifts from children are special because they come from a place of pure joy and innocence. Children often express their feelings openly, and their gifts reflect their genuine affection. It reminds us of the simple joys in life and the importance of connection and kindness.

The best gift that I have received, it's my iPhone. This gift is gifted by my close friend. When I was in my graduation classes, he took me to a mall and he offered me to buy a gift. I usually don't accept any gift from anyone but he forcefully asked me if I would like to get any gift. So at that moment, I did not have any phone with me so he asked like if I would like to get a phone. I said it okay, I can get a one phone which has 256 GB of RAM and the phone should have a good camera quality and the good pixel of it. So we decided to buy an iPhone at the end and at last when I came back to home from the mall, I opened my gift box and I checked it with others. In addition to iPhone, I also bought an Airpods and the Airpods has different specializations. It has no noise and the noise cancellation at the back. Also furthermore, we did some juggling around with the things and we also juggled up with others who were available at the store. Also we spent time at mall. So this was my bestest gift that I have received from my friend and I am still carrying the same phone with me. It's been always great.

Follow up questions


What other gifts have you received that were meaningful to you?
Apart from my iPhone, I have received a few other meaningful gifts, like a handmade scrapbook from my sister. It contained memories from our childhood, and it really touched my heart. Gifts that come with personal touches often mean more than expensive items.

How do you feel about giving gifts to others?
I believe giving gifts is a wonderful way to show appreciation and love. I enjoy selecting gifts that reflect the recipient's personality and interests. It brings me joy to see their reaction when they receive something thoughtful and meaningful.

Do you think material gifts are more valuable than experiences?
While material gifts can be special, I believe experiences often hold more value. Memories created through shared experiences can last a lifetime, whereas material items may fade in significance over time. Both have their place, but experiences often enrich our lives more.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    The best gift I received was a Titan wristwatch. It was beautiful. It was silver and gold. Oh, and I received it on my 39th birthday. It was the best gift because it was something I never expected. It was given to me by my husband and children. They'd never given me a gift before that. When I received that, it was like the biggest surprise of my life. I love watches, so I had a lot of watches. But eventually, this is the watch that I wear the most. It is my prized possession. It is something that I can match on all my outfits. And it looks beautiful. And I love to show off that watch. Most of the times, I wouldn't mind changing. But then I end up wearing the same watch. I have seen many other watches. But by far, this watch beats them all. As I said, it's silver and gold. So it goes on every outfit. And the battery has really lasted very, very long. It's been like 3 or 4 years. But I've hardly changed the battery once or twice. And this watch has little diamond tees on them. And none of them has fallen in the last 4 years. So it's something that I really treasure. In fact, the night they gave it to me, we were watching TV. And they just came and surprised me. It was not only the watch. I got a box of chocolates. I got a perfume. And I got a card along with the watch. So this gift is something I will always treasure.

    The best gift that I have received was a analog watch. When I was studying my school days, I just only used smart watches. On my exams, they won't allow to have smart watches in your wrist. So, we have to remove it before the exam. My father decided to buy me an analog watch on my birthday as a surprise. So, when I returned from my school, he just said that, just go, wash your face and come. After that, he just gave me a gift on my birthday and that was August 17. And just after some time, I opened the gift. It was an analog watch. Its brand name is Titan. And I know that this watch brand and company was very expensive. And the Titan was one of the top class watches company in the world. And I love used to wear analog watches. So, after that, I used to wear analog watch for my exams. Its easy to me for check time every time. So, that was my special gift that I received by my father as well as a useful gift that I have been received this time.

    I am a person who normally does not I am the person who do not like accepting the gifts from anyone, be it be a relative or a close friend or people at work, such as working professionals or outsider vendors at work. I am a person who feel that accepting gifts make me feel obliged to repay them in future. As such, I don't like to accept the gifts. My best gift is my family, my children, my wife, my parents, which I owe to them in my life. And that's about the gift.

    The best gift I have ever received was a guitar. In my last birthday, my younger sister had the first guitar. So it was all a surprise party which they have organized for me. And when I just came back home, the whole entire room was decorated. So they have kept the guitar also beside the cake and all the decoration items. There were ample number of gifts there. But the one which got very close to my heart was the guitar because I actually wanted guitar as a kid when I was in college. But my dad never allowed me to buy one because he thought that if I could, they will want my guitar. The only thing which I am going to do every day is sit and play guitar. I love studying and I am not that good in my academics. But you know my sister, my younger sister, she did it for me. So that was very emotional for me and it really touched my heart. Not just that, even my best friend gifted me a sketch of my portrait. That was very lovely and very heart touching. So the students really made me cry when I saw them. But it was a mind-blowing experience I would say. And I cannot describe how happy I was when I saw that. I even played guitar. And soon I found out to join their classes and learn the lessons of guitar. It was amazing.

    I have received a lot of gifts throughout my life and they have been very expensive gifts and gifts at times and like there are some gifts which are very close to my heart. So if I think about like one of the best gifts that I have ever received is like a gift which was like recently given to me by my friend. It was a heart book. I do indulge myself in like heart works and I do draw a lot of sketches, paints and lot of stuff related to heart and receiving this gift from my best friend with a small letter attached to it in the front page saying that how important the heart is to me and how I should never give it up and focus on my heart works. This letter brings me joy and also like whenever I see the book I feel like I should draw and it motivates me in a lot of different ways not only in my heart work but also in my life. It brings me joy and happiness whenever I see this book.

    The best gift till date was given to me by my father, which was a car. It was given to me on my 20th birthday and I cannot explain the experience, how happy that made me. From childhood I have been receiving many gifts from friends, from families and I consider each one of those gifts very important and very meaningful. I appreciate the efforts what my family takes for me or my friends take for me and generally I consider gifts as a gesture of appreciation for someone. Additionally, even I am a person who would like to give certain gifts to my friends, to my families because I believe that it is a small token of happiness for all the people we love around us. And with occasion or without occasion we should be giving our gifts randomly, not to the people we know but also to the strangers.
