A Story Of One Memorable Gift by @funshee

"What makes a gift so special and memorable to me? Well, it doesn't have to be the most expensive thing in the world, but the intention of the person giving it and how valuable the item is to me at that moment. Sometimes it can be simple stuff that comes from someone's heart and a smile on his or her face. Or an act of service from someone that truly cares.”.

When a Gesture Becomes a Treasure by @vickoly

Getting a gift can be so mesmerizing and pleasing because of many things, such as the intention behind the gift, who's giving it to us, the impact such a gift will have on our lives, and many more, to mention but a few, and it's always a thing of joy when we're gifted something because it indicates that we're loved, cherished, and appreciated by those around us. I've been privileged to get a bunch of gifts from my loved ones, and each gift is usually dear to my heart.

Once Upon A Gift That Left A Good Impression by @merit.ahama

As he stretched his hand to give me the box with a wrist watch in it, he said something that stuck in my heart for a long time... "Your birthday gift madam, use it well for your school and be the best". The wrist watch wasn't like the regular ones I had seen, it was so beautiful that I could already see myself checking for time every minute.

The gift of a Mathematics textbook by @lightpen

Some gifts are bridge builders. They link one to his or her success. Imagine traveling from point A to point E, and you meet a river in-between A and B. Someone who gifted you his canoe to paddle across the river has his name written in gold whenever you are telling the story of your success, especially how you got to your desired destination..

A teacher's inspiring influence through a gift 🎁 by @ginika

I really never thought a pen could do magic. Oh yes! It could if you believe not that he really meant that it does magic by calling it a lucky pen especially when it comes to mathematics.Gifts, whether big or small, mean a lot to me. It could go as far as engraving itself in my heart, encourage me to do even better and as well make me feel loved.
