I think gifts are often given to people for different reasons but mostly to show appreciation to them for a certain act. The most beautiful thing about gifts is how they make you feel so good about yourself for receiving them and whether small or large, you just feel the need to appreciate the gift.
For me, the most memorable gift I have ever got that is still in my possession, is a silver bracelet and a gold wrist chain given to me by my best friend. I may not wear these accessories all the time but I always have them in my bag or purse. That's how much I cherish them and I hope for them to stay with me forever.
