Rediscovering the Just Because Gift

2010-03-11T17:21:18Z

Christmas and birthday presents are always nice, but there's something special about a just because gift. When you give someone a gift for no particular reason, you brighten up their day because a, it's a surprise, and b, it shows them how much you care and that you were thinking of them. The gift doesn't even have to be anything special: in this case, it really is the thought that counts.
