Pleasures of Gift Giving

Gifts are something which can bring smile on the face. It holds am important part in our life. It is considered as the unselfish act which brings joy to our life. However this process is age –old. Earlier kings and kings were presented fruits and Gold coins to deliver their gratitude. Be it Rakhi gifts, Christmas gifts or Diwali gifts, Gifts are always special and will remain same.

Gifts can be of any types. It’s not necessary to have them materialistic, only cards and flowers are sufficient to reveal your feelings. Like India, every country has some occasions when they exchange gifts. So we can see that this culture is global and devotes that we all have same psychology over Gift giving.  

India is one country which is said to have as many festivals as colors. And that is why gift giving is getting more popular in this country. The latest festival which is coming soon is Raksha Bandhan when many sisters send Rakhi to USA for their beloved brothers. It is worth watching festival where they exchange gifts to show their love. A gift gives joy and pleasure to both receiver and giver.

Have you ever thought why we spend so much time in choosing gifts? Do you know what it has to do with our psychology?  Gift giving is the ultimate way to show that you care, you are interested and most of all it strengthen the bond between two people. When we search for gifts we always keep their needs, likes and dislikes in our mind. It clearly shows that we do care for them and their feelings.

Some psychologists have proved that it gives us more joy when we give rather when we take. When we expect nothing in return, our psychology changes and that is the biggest change which is beneficial. So it gives us both extrinsic and intrinsic benefits. A gift giver sometimes does it to show his guilt and to start afresh. These are such things which should be adopted by us for our own good.

Apart from psychologists, advertisers and marketers have also observed this idea and that’s why we have a multiple options of making it possible. Right now we are equipped with plethora of online shopping sites which are making it even more possible to send gifts far-off. With all these things we can say that people are getting globally equal. Many of the festivals which are celebrated in India are now forming a part of foreign culture. When people from abroad send Rakhi to India, it shows that somehow they are also connecting the two countries.

So as the whole the process of gift giving is soothing and it should b promoted.
