All gifts have the potential to be good gifts, but it depends on the person and how they like their gift as well as the thought behind it. The person receiving the gift may like more sentimental stuff, or they could like store bought stuff. Some may even prefer handmade things. Like a love language, everyone has a gift language that shows their preference in gifts and what makes them feel the most seen. Everyone’s preferred kind of gifts is shaped by the unique experiences we have in life.
For me personally, I like sentimental and handmade gifts because I feel like they display more creativity and feeling. I also really love it because I’m a gift giving kind of person and I like giving sentimental gifts, since I know the meaning behind them. I love when that feeling is reciprocated to me as well. I like notes as well because it shows and expresses your feelings pretty straight forward. I feel like it shows how much time and effort you put in to the person but at the same time it depends on the person’s preference.
I feel like all gifts have the potential to be great because it doesn’t particularly matter how much you spent on the gift, only the intention behind it. I feel like if you truly know a person, a gift that shows that you listen and care is all they will need. This can show that you actually pay attention to the person and listen to them, showing real care for them on a deeper level.
