The Dreams of a kid

Kids are usually pretty easy to please. Ha, nothing could be further away from this in modern times ;) Actually it's just a great way in our times to give children gift where they can explore things outside of the digital world where society puts them in.

What you should consider when you are last minute shopping

A practical Checklist on what to do when you need a gift within the last minute:

How is the person related to you? Family, Friend, Job
Do you know what the person likes? Sports, Food, Design, Games, Toys...
Do you want something practical, unique or funny?
Is this gift for a special occasion? Valentines Day, Christmas, Birthday...
Are there many people gifing gift to that person at that time?
Do you want to stand out or do you want to give something that is forgotten fast?

Sometimes a last minute gift should be some beautiful flowers, other times it's great to order something with overnight express and make up a story how this happend in case it is seen within the family. Just make sure you have the gift when the occasion comes around, gift cards / coupons are just a boring, uncreative way to go.

What is a gift anyways?

A gift or a present is the transfer of something, without the need for compensation that is involved in trade. A gift is a voluntary act which does not require anything in return. Even though it involves possibly a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or power, a gift is meant to be free.

In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy.

By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness and kindness.
