You can say, “Have a happy day,” with a gift.

You can say, “I love you,” with a gift.

You can say, “Sorry I have no time to give you any attention, but here’s a gift,” with a gift.

You can say, “I just want to ease the pain and help somehow,” with a gift.

Sometimes, you can even say, “You’re welcome,” with a gift.

Giving gifts is often more fun than receiving them—really! Don’t you love the anticipation of that wonderful moment of surprise and unexpected joy that your kind little action will bring to someone’s day!

And you don’t always need to have a reason to give a gift—try giving for the pure joy of it!

What gift have you given today?
