Hello Steemians, and a very merry Nativity of the Sun! haha! Whatever you celebrate during these days, even if you don't, I wish you all a very happy time : )
Gift-giving has always been one of my favourite parts of our society's rituals. Whether it is because of Christmas, anniversaries, promotions, life-achievements, or just the heck of it, gift-giving is a great way of materializing the appreciation you feel for those around you. It is an opportunity to show you know them without having to state so in words, which is often very difficult to do.
I know what you're thinking. Hang the capitalist pig! - But! Let me clarify before you put me in the old lasso! Gifts are not at all about capitalism. Even a pebble from the street can be a great gift in some cases (I love weird-looking pebbles!). I actually prefer the "made, not bought" approach to gift giving, as the whole purpose of a gift is for it to be meaningful. I think the most important part of a gift is that of any relationship - details
So today, I present you with a gift I made for a very special friend. Hope you like it! : )
