The value of a gift is not in the gift itself, but rather everything that leads up to it: thought, arrangment, and delivery

This multi-step process requires attention and determination to make it happen

Thus, the Giver shows the Recipient a reflection of the value that they see in them

I stopped making presents for Christmas or birthdays. Too much pressure and expectation. Instead, I do random gifts targeting current needs of the other person. Seems like everyone involved is much happier this way :)

True. Agreed and that’s actually more thoughtful than just a gift.
