  1. Gifts can be amazing things. They should be personal though. Not gift cards, though money is often appreciated greatly as a gift. It’s much better to give someone a gift that is special to their likes and dislikes. It makes it so much better.

  3. The real gift is of life. Just to be here, on this planet is a miracle. A miracle that we take for granted. We are so busy DOING things that we forget to just sit quietly and think about what it means to be here. We are called Humane Beings…Not Human Doings. Have a peaceful day.

  6. I have a gift for my friend, I don’t know if I should give it to him though. He hasn’t been worthy of my time lately. I still love him though, and I still want to be his friend, but I don’t know what to do. Happy birthday, Matthew.

  8. It’s not that I’m ungrateful. It’s just that she gives the same $25 dollar gift certificate every birthday and Channuka and no matter where I live, it’s just not a good idea to go to that store.

  13. I like to give gifts. I like choosing something for other people even more than I like receiving gifts. Presents shouldn’t be chosen carelessly, as they say something about the giver as well as the recipient. I don’t know whether I felt this way as a child. Probably not.
