To all Ka-Finance and PUPians out there, keep in mind that giving a gift this season does not have a specific standard, and it is not really about how big, small, expensive, or cheap your gift was; it is always about showing that you truly remember all the people that you love.
Christmas is coming, so it's the season of giving for the nth time! Gift-giving, as we all know, is an activity where people participate by giving a specific or symbolic gift item to a person without expecting reciprocation. Giving someone a gift must come from the heart. Moreover, this sincere act can also be considered a foundational piece of social exchange, relationships, and value. Gift-giving is performed on birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and, of course, the upcoming festive season. So, the real question here is..."Does everyone have enough money to buy gifts for their loved ones, family, friends, and even godchildren?"
Everyone must know that giving something meaningful to their loved ones requires proper planning and consideration. It is an individual's responsibility to decide to whom those people will receive a gift, how much they should spend on presents, and what gifts they can afford. It is highly suggested that when it comes to this matter, we must always think about the designated budget we have planned. It will help us to focus on our little but genuine goal to give gifts and avoid spending too much. Now, if your love language is giving gifts this coming season, here are some simple yet meaningful presents that surely will not break the bank:
1. DIY CRAFTS - This consists of hand-made accessories, paper flower bouquets, crocheted clothes, homemade phone charms or keychains, and other crafts that can be useful to our studies. This kind of stuff is ordinary or usual to everyone but giving this stuff as a gift to one another just clearly demonstrates a great deal of care since you show an incredible effort, and you also invest your time and energy to create and give an endearing present that signifies your affection for them.
2. A JAR FULL OF SHORT MOTIVATIONAL SELF-MADE POEMS - This kind of present signifies how sentimental you are. The gift of poetry can be kept and cherished eternally. Giving this to your friends or loved ones can be helpful. They can open the jar and read a motivational and self-made poem whenever they feel down, unmotivated, or pressured. By doing this, you can undoubtedly help them by subtly telling them that everything will always be alright and at ease.
3. SCRAPBOOK OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES - This is highly recommended to give your family as a gift! It is not just demonstrating how much you cherish their existence in your life but also proving how you treasure all the memories you have all shared. All you need to do is compile all those memorable pictures, print them, and put them in the scrapbook or photo album you have prepared. With this gift, you can surely save all the moments and look back on them 'till the next season of giving!
4. FOOD AS A GIFT - Food might be perceived as costly, but with the right budgeting to buy all the ingredients needed, you can ensure that it will be worthy of a gift! Giving food as your present to a person strengthens bonds and signifies love, respect, and an immense feeling of bliss. You can freely prepare the person's favorite meal or make their favorite sweet treats as a gift. Homemade foods are common yet appetizing gifts that can put a smile on everyone's face!
5. GIFT OF SPENDING TIME - Spending time with others as your holiday gift indicates an act of love that can provide a good feeling for you and your family, friends, and loved ones. You can deepen your relationship with them by going to church together, watching movies, biking, walking, exercising, talking about life, doing chores, cleaning or redecorating the house, teaching them how to play a specific musical instrument, playing some games, and meditating together. Spending quality time might not be your love language, but we cannot change the fact that it does not cost any amount, and it can be a wonderful present that you can offer to your favorite people this Christmas!
I believe that gift-giving must come with our willingness to give love, and it will always be the best meaningful act you could ever give to someone you genuinely care about with all your heart. To all Ka-Finance and PUPians out there, keep in mind that giving a gift this season does not have a specific standard, and it is not really about how big, small, expensive, or cheap your gift was; it is always about showing that you truly remember all the people that you love. So, better not waste your time! Prepare a thoughtful gift for someone, and make sure it will not be able to empty one's wallet!
