The Art of Gift Giving

There is an art to gift giving.  It's not about how much something costs or where it comes from.  You have to know the receiver's likes/dislikes.  You have to get he/she something they want or will use.  You have to have a very personal relationship with the person.  That way, when you come across the correct gift, you will be certain. The gift will call out to you.  The receiver will be excited you put forth so much thought and effort into getting something for them.  With all the birthdays celebrated in the past week, I think it is safe to say, I am pretty ok at the art of gift giving.
