Gifts - Something more than you can ever think!

"GIFTS ARE THE MEMORIES THAT WE CHERISH FOREVER!"

The intent of a person is more precious than the gift and its price. Gifts are the priceless possessions one can savour for years and years. Those precious things hold special space in your heart.

Here is a small exercise I have for you. It rewinds you back in the past and a flashback of memories just pass by. I hope you would enjoy this exercise with the flood of beautiful memories.

1. Do you have a thing or any present that was given by your loved ones long back?

2. Who gave you that gift/thing?

3. For how many years that thing is with you?

4. Could you describe the joy that you get after seeing that gift/thing?

5. How much it is valuable to you?

6. Would you describe the memory or series of memories attached with it?

7. How do you feel after seeing that gift/thing?

8. Would you love to share the snap of the same with grateful note to the one who gave you that gift/thing?

9. To whom would you love to pass that thing/gift in the future?

Lastly,

10. How did you feel when you made someone feel blessed after sharing the snap and a note of appreciation?

Sometimes a precious gift is like a legacy that passes from one generation to another. In a way, it's a heritage! It's what you value the most in life that will be handed over to someone else who deserves it.

Do you have any such thing that is very close to your heart?

You know, it deserves the center space in the showcase!

Now it's "My Story" time:-

I had so many things with me that were gifted to me many many years back. I have a set of bangles that were gifted to me by my cousin bro 13 years back. I have handmade greeting card given by my college buddy; I have that with me for over 13 years. I have a quirky scarf which was gifted to me by my cousin sis in the year 2017; you can count the years! I have a handmade greeting card given by another cousin sis for over 6 years; this one is extra special to me because she made it for me when she had just handful of money with her. Most precious thing that own for over 15 years is the potli bag of my Grandma that she used to use to store her saved money. It's there with me for over 15 years. Even if it is sort of faded in the color, I still have it because of its worth. I have a Tweety cartoon character clip keychain with me since my childhood. Even if it's slightly broken it holds a special space in my life. Recently, my cousin sis passed on a Frog backpack to her nephew that I had given her 12 years back. You see, how special things are like a legacy or heritage that can be passed on to the next generations. One of my friend had bought a sparkling Cinderella Stilettos for me back in the year 2017. This pair of of shoes are one of my most favourite out of all my footwear collection. Moreover, they are the most praised as well! There are so many other things that probably I have forgotten to name here. That is the reason why I have decided to go through the same exercise that I gave you to try.

I just sent a WA message by expressing my gratefulness and thankfulness to my cousin sis for the gift that treasured by me for so many years. Not to mention, she was damn happy to see that!
