Many books have been written about “the art of giving”. And we also know that it’s hard to give people a gift,       a personal one. If we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give the gift to and their likes and      .
As is often the case, some little kids think they don’t get enough gifts       some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts.
