The Many Faces of Gifting: Love, Presence & Beyond
Because a true gift is never about the price—it’s about the heart behind it.
1) Giving Gifts
I believe giving a gift is one of the purest acts of love. When we give something to someone, we don’t carry negative or selfish thoughts—our whole intention is simply to bring happiness and see a smile on their face. The purpose of gifting is clear: it is not for everyone, but for those who hold a special place in our hearts—our best friends, close ones, or family members.
While choosing a gift, we think about what the person loves the most, what suits their taste, what they truly need, or what makes them feel special. Some people adore cute things, while others prefer practical or meaningful items. Every thought behind a gift is about the receiver, not the giver.
There are people who genuinely love to gift often, simply because they feel joy when you are happy. They may see clothes and imagine how beautiful they’ll look on you, or come across something unique and instantly want to buy it for you. Such people often forget about themselves and focus only on making you feel special. Meeting people like this is truly a blessing.
2) Receiving Gifts
For some, receiving gifts is their favorite love language. They feel excited to receive different gifts on every occasion. However, not everyone who loves receiving is equally willing to give. Some people focus only on expecting gifts but don’t feel the same joy in giving. While receiving is wonderful, the balance of giving and receiving makes the love language of gifts truly meaningful.
3) Gifting Only to a Partner
Some people choose to give gifts only to their girlfriend or boyfriend. For every occasion—birthdays, anniversaries, or even casual moments—they spend generously on their partner. They might not have money to spend on friends, but they always have enough to spend on their partner, whether it’s for food, outings, or surprises. Some girls and boys are the same way—prioritizing their love relationship above everything else. In short, they reserve their gift-giving mostly for their partner.
4) Gifting with Equality
There are people who believe in balancing things equally when it comes to gifts. For example, if one person gives something, the other feels they must return a gift of similar value. It’s like going on a date—one person pays the first time, the other pays the next time. Some couples even prefer splitting the bill right away to maintain equality. Their love language of gifting is about fairness and balance.
5) Receiving Without Reaction
Some people love receiving gifts but show very little or no reaction. Even after someone puts in a lot of effort to find a thoughtful or special gift, they may just say a simple “thank you” without much emotion. To the giver, this can sometimes feel disappointing, almost as if their effort wasn’t valued. Gifting becomes truly beautiful when both the effort and emotion behind it are appreciated.
6) People Who Reject Gifting
Some people neither give nor take gifts. They believe gifting is a foolish or childish thing to do, and think people only waste their time, money, and emotions on it. For them, gifting is useless and unnecessary. They prefer to stay away from such expressions of love or care, considering it meaningless.
8) Replacing Time with Money
There are also people who don’t spend quality time with their loved ones, but instead, replace their presence with money or material things. For example, some partners may never make time for each other, but simply give cash or expensive items to fill the gap. Similarly, some parents fulfill their child’s wishes instantly by buying whatever toy or product the child points at, without considering how meaningful or thoughtful it is. In such cases, gifting becomes more about convenience than true connection.
9) Expensive Equals Gift
Some people believe that only expensive or branded things count as real gifts. They overlook simple, thoughtful, or low-cost gifts and fail to recognize their value. For them, a gift is valid only if it has a high price tag. If someone gives them something small—like a single rose or a handmade token—they may consider it cheap. But in reality, the emotion behind even the simplest gift can be far more precious than money.
Gifting: Beyond Things, It’s About Love and Presence
The best gift you can ever give someone is your time. Spending quality time with your loved one helps build a genuine and real connection. If you want to gift love, then create emotional intimacy—hold hands, share warm hugs, and show affection. For many people, love, respect, and presence are the greatest gifts of all.
Combo gifting doesn’t always mean something expensive. Respect, care, loyalty, and love are priceless gifts that money can never buy. Love is truly about gifting yourself wholeheartedly to someone—without expectations, just pure giving from the heart.
Being there in every situation, especially during storms and tough times, is one of the most precious gifts you can give. Staying strong with someone through their worst days is far more valuable than anything money can buy.
Money may help purchase things, but it cannot buy happiness or true connection. Even if you don’t have money, you can still give happiness by offering your time, presence, and love.
What matters most in gifting is your intention and feelings behind it. A flower, a bar of chocolate, a handwritten love letter, a heartfelt email, a sweet message, or even cooking a special meal—all these small acts carry deep meaning. In the end, what remains most precious is the time you spend with your loved ones, wrapped in care and affection.
