Are you crazy about the gift you get, please? I am whatever gift it is!

What a nice gift from your friend. Did he sign the book for you? Yes, I am always very appreciative of any gift given to me by friends or family. A gift is a choice and not a requirement. A gift from a special friend means so much to me. I know they are thinking about me. I also return the favor of a gift to family and friends. I want them to feel as special as I did when receiving something from me. Have a great day, carolbee

For a long time I was so sentimental about gifts that I never got rid of a single one of them even the ones I had no use for. I just put them all in a box and stored the box away. When I eventually moved, I donated the entire contents of the box to a thrift shop.A friend who came to help me pack things noticed that one of the things she gave me was in that box. I was mortified. Nowdays, I tend to get rid of gifts quickly that I can't use. I know people who re-gift but I wouldn't want to take that chance. With my luck I'd eventually give the gift back to the person who gave it to me.

I think that was a very lovely gift you got from your colleague, how very thoughtful and personal. I have to admit I've always appreciated receiving gifts from people, however small or large or cheap or expensive, it's the thought that counts and I appreciate the fact that someone even bothered to take the time to choose the gift, even if it's a gift voucher, I still appreciate that it cost money. I have to admit now though that my husband and I have so much stuff that we really don't have much room in our home for much else. We're having a 5th anniverary party later this month and we've clearly told everyone we've invited strictly no gifts please of any kind - we just want their company which will be gift enough for us. I know I'll be taking lots of photos as will several other friends and the memory of the party with our closest friends there will be the greatest gift for us :)

Hi williamjisir! Oh that is such a wonderful gift you have received from a colleague dear friend. I also feel the same way you do whenever I received any kind of gift from a family, friend or colleagues. I always appreciate the gesture and the thoughtfulness being bestowed upon me. I value anything that is given to me wholeheartedly. I feel very special whenever someone gives me any token or gift. Take care and have a wonderful day! lovelots..faith

Hello to you too, William. FIRST AND FOREMOST ~ I do respect and admire for anyone, who is able to write, print and publish their own writing articles. Their insights, efforts, discipline in writing, and of course for their precious time spending. AN HONORARY GIFT I will accept with my open hands for anything as "gift", especially, when the gift came from known person. More glad and proud, if their gift is a 'hand made' or 'own made' type of gift. Feeling honored, because I am one of the recipient in their gift's recipient's list. Sometimes it happened that, the given gift is not a material type of gift but it also in the form of "intangible" gift, which is presented in highly disciplinary and respectful manner through internet. GIFT DOES CARRIES MEMORABLE VALUE Normally, in our daily life it is a common practice among our community when we do talking about giving gift to any third party, there must be a great supportive element or factor for the wish to be true and through. What I can look into, is a kind of memorable value in it. Sincere or insincere of giving gift is not a prime objective but the motive of inter-connecting the past and future time to create the real great memory face value in that specific gift for both parties, between giver and taker. GIFT DOES CREATE NATURE LEARNING In reality, there are so many and various types of nature learning in one gift. It happens in both parties, actually. Where the giver will think about what type of gift that should be given to the taker(recipient). Somehow, the giver has to take little time to closely know the life nature of the taker. Same thing happens to the taker, once received, the taker will take little time to think about of why the gift was given and why that specific type of gift being given. MY CONCLUSION Gift does promote a faculty of mutual networking. Where, the mutual networking is much highly appreciated by both parties regardless of time factor, as its continuity of appreciation runs in both parties entire life. Like me, I was given a book by one twinning program college titled "ENTREPRENEURSHIP" - theory, process, practice (ISBN 0 - 324 -25826 - 7) for my small contribution. the book image

It has been a while since I get a gift from anyone in my life. Last time I got my gift was way back in 2005 I believe. I got a pen from my uncle that time. I don't think I go crazy for any gifts I get from anyone. It is a pleasure getting them for me. I can keep that gifts for a long long time but I can't go crazy for them. I admire them!

You are such a good person. You display such respect for your elders, and even though that should be automatic for people, it does not always happen. He has indeed given you a special gift. And in turn, you have repaid him by being such a loyal and attentive student. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you.

Finally Williamjisir has a new discussion and I am so glad to see it:) I think it's an honor to have such kind of book as a gift. It is a great treasure. I just feel a little amused as you got it yesterday. I wonder whether this gift is for you. Perhaps it should be for your wife as yesterday it's the Women's Day:) I love China

What a very sweet and thoughtful gift! Yes, I love gifts, too! No matter what the gift, I cherish every gift I've ever received. I keep all greeting cards and even the packages that the gift arrived in. I am crazy about gifts too. Thanks for the lovely story. Best of health and long life to you, my friend. And, my best wishes for your family as well. Have a lovely day.

Dear friend, That is really a valuable one when the gift we got is special and moreover if it is received from someone special too.

Hello W.J.S....Yes its always a pleasure and a privelage for me to get gifts especially from the most unexpected quarters.....It makes me feel wanted and cared for and its not the value of the gift that matters ,but the mentality behind the giving of the gift... Well I am sure you are thrilled to get the book from your old colleague,and it shows how much he respects and values your friendship.Yes you should try to read the book little by little and sent valvuable reviews about the book to your friend as early as possible..Good luck......

I guess you are different from others as he gave you the best gift to you. I think he know what you like best and that is why he prefer to have it for you. He treat you a very special friend just like with the book. You know in my own peception here, he gave it in the sense that once you open it you will not forgot him all the time. Because when you read and scan the pages you will always remember those days that you are in the peers and happy together. Good memories can be cherished as you go along the different topics of the book. Congrats for the gift that you have and I know you will keep it until the end of time. I also have gift from a retired teacher it is an oganizer. I kep it as our souvenir and i can remember her many times as the years added and that organizer is the one that could initiate her to be remember the good times we have.
