Steemit Engagement Challenge S6/W5 - Should gift giving only be for a season in a year?

Greetings

Greetings to you, my dear great steemians friend, I welcome you to my post. I am so excited to have you here. I believe that you are doing very well with your loved ones with you. In this post on the contest, I will be talking about "gift giving" as part of my entry to the contest organized in the Steem Kids & Parents community. So read on as I share with you.

What is gift giving?

A gift is something such as material or immaterial item given out. Therefore, gift giving is the act of presenting a material item such as a phone, watch or clothe to a fellow human without the intention of getting anything back.

Should it be for a season in a year? Explain

Gift giving should not be for a season in a year. Since giving sterns from the heart it should be heartfelt and voluntary without the thought of reciprocation. There are many things people celebrate within a year, hence, one can choose to extend gift within those celebration such as marriage, anniversaries, promotions, graduations, etc. So, if gift giving were just for a season alone, it would be boring, and people would not be happy to announce their other celebration. However, genuine gift should not be attach to any celebration.

Name other opportunities that one can exchange gifts.

There are several occasions/opportunities through which we can exchange gifts. These other occasions is as follows:

• Job promotion.
• Marriage anniversary
• Graduation
• House opening
• Child bearing
• Thanksgiving.

What are proper items that can be exchanged as gifts?

Gift is of two kinds, material and immaterial. Material gift ate cloths, shoes, cars, money and so on. Since gift is voluntary, we do not expect to receive any of those items back for the one we give out. But out of ignorance of this fact, people do expect to receive back a gift to whoever they give gift to ad exchange.
Immaterial gift such as love, kindness, goodness, care, etc, can however be exchange by the giver and receiver at any giving time.

What should be the right motive for gift giving.

The motive for gift giving should not be attach to anything, rather it should reflect the state of the mind and not expecting rewards from the person that we rendered the gift to. It should not be pressure by external factor or an eye service meant to please someone. However, culture and environment determines ones actions. In this case the motive varies.

Who is qualified to give gifts?

As far as I am concern, everyone is qualified to give gifts as long as you are not expecting something in return. This means that, our gift giving is is closely associated to our status. We are qualified to give gifts according to what you can offer. The bottom line is making the receiver to feel that you were thinking of him or her. Therefore, none is exempted because giving has no class boundaries neither does it bound to law.

How should the giver and the receiver feel about the act of giving?

Giving gift help to cement the bond of friendship and produces great sensations and emotions in both the giver and the receiver. The Holy book says, "there is more happiness in giving than in receiving". If that is the case, who will not want to give gift so ad to be happy? None.
Above that, when one party gives gift and the other party received the gift, there is an outward display of happiness which is often seen on the faces of the two parties involved. Let us continue to give out of love.

Conclusion

We are equally born but not equally talented. There are those who are born as givers. Whether we are natural givers or cultivated givers, the fact remains that givers never lack and blessed is the hands that gives. So the choice is personal. But I will encourage us to continue giving no matter how insignificant it is.

Am am inviting @peacepj, @cryptopie and @gwillchrist to participate in this gift giving contest.
