Essay Question: "Explain why gift giving makes you feel good." I know this is asking a lot. You'll feel better

Answer 1

The joy of giving
makes you feel like your living
Not of just for yourself pleasure
But for someone else to treasure
Your kindness and your caring
Did not go waste
That someone else could taste
That it is not the gift that you treasure
But the person giving it
That brought you the pleasure

Answer 2

Gift giving is both a benefit and a help. To give is the same with sharing. And to share is a relaxing act. Not only does it make a bond grow deeper, but it also gives a person the feeling of being kind and happy. Because for most people, to see someone happy multiplies their joy. The joy brings the feeling of goodness to the giver...

Answer 3

I will be the first to say I love getting gifts, it makes me feel good. But as a caring human being we get more satisfaction out of seeing others happy because of something we did.
I love it even more when I get my brother or my parents a gift and when they open it they get a huge smile on there face. I love it even more when I give stuff to less fortunate people and they look like they just won the lottery even though it only cost me 10 bucks. I cant really explain the feeling but I feel warm and fuzzy inside and feel like I just did something that changed someone life, which is a good thing.
I always say if I win the lottery I am going to buy other people lots of stuff to.

Answer 4

For me, gift giving supplies me with an armload of self-gratification. I am not a needy person, by any means, BUT I do need to be needed. Gift giving is just one of the many ways you can show a person how you feel. Not just love but gratitude and appreciation as well. I use it as a way to let someone know that I am thinking about them. The smallest, out of the ordinary, unexpected gift, if presented with a smile, will yield the biggest reactions. Sometimes people get so comfortable with their lives that they forget that everything worth having has to be worked for, and any relationship that you begin with someone will always and continually require work. Positive reinforcement is just as effective as tough love. When I see someone I love heading in the wrong direction or close to making an err in judgement, I wouldnt even hesitate to try and help them or prevent them from getting hurt. Gift giving supports the other end of a relationship. When I see someone I love doing something or saying something (or even saying nothing when it applies) to send a positive message, I want them to know that I noticed that and appreciate that about them. To me, relationships are living and breathing "creatures" that must be fed well and maintained to stay healthy. If you find someone in your life that makes you want to try harder, snatch them up and dont let go!! They, themselves, are a gift and should be appreciated.

I tend to "hang out" in my mind with the recipient of my gift prior to purchasing or giving the gift, thinking of them, their interests, and how they will respond to my gift. So, in this way, I spend a lot of time with the person, enjoying thoughts of them and our relationship and their pleasure upon opening my gift. It is a way of extending and deepening the relationship, honoring their uniqueness, and reciprocating their own gift to me for being in my life. Gift giving is a two-way street, in that giver and receiver experience the shared enjoyment of the exchange. Even as I write this, I am remembering many warm moments involving giving and receiving gifts, whether from loved ones or strangers (anonymous coins placed in parking meters, a new neighbor bringing over a casserole, another shopper providing the extra change for a purchase when one comes up short, etc.). So, the bottom line is that both giving and receiving bring warm fuzzies, feeling good through sharing with one another. I am Sirius

I think it's something hardwired into all of us. We all, deep down love being able to help someone in need, or just bless someone who may not be in need but who have touched our heart in some way.

Sure, we can be very selfish a lot of the time but every now and then we find we get more satisfaction out of giving than we do of getting.

I remember once, sitting in a restaurant I noticed an older woman, probably in her 90's, really frail and she didn't look like she was very well off. I secretly asked the waitress to bring me her check and paid her bill...it wasn't a lot but I know it had to make her day something special. It doesn't have to cost a lot to bless people and I'll tell you it will always bring a smile to your face and to your heart when you think back to those times...It blesses you even more than it does them.

And to think, Jesus died on the cross to bless us...He paid a much bigger price but I just know that for everyone who accepts what He did for them, He smiles too!

Answer 7

Not only does it get your mind off of yourself and your OWN little problems, but it makes the 'other' guy feel fantastic--about himself and about YOU!

I LOVE surprises , so I give surprises!
I was brought up being given 'little things' and it's those things that count and last a lifetime---in our hearts.
