I could resist celebrating just a bit more.<\/p>\n
Definition<\/a>: A gift<\/strong> or a present<\/strong> is the transfer of something without the expectation of receiving something in return. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free. In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging money<\/a>, goods<\/a>, etc. may contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics<\/a> of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy<\/a>. By extension the term gift<\/em> can refer to anything that makes the other happier<\/a> or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness<\/a> and kindness<\/a>.<\/p>\n gift basket<\/p>\n Present<\/p>\n “I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.” Eleanor Roosevelt<\/p>\n Birthday gift<\/p>\n gift bag<\/p>\n Christmas gift<\/p>\n “We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it.
