Great Gifts for Christmas
and Other Times, Too!
What Makes a GREAT GIFT?Giving great gifts isn't always easy, especially in our society when all the cool electronic gadgets are fairly inexpensive and readily available.
Almost accidentally, I gave my wife a memorable gift for Christmas several years ago.
We were having a very busy year, and seldom got to spend time with just each other doing things we enjoyed. To solve that problem and to give her something enjoyable, I gave her special "dates" during three successive months. - dinner out and a Syracuse University basketball game
- dinner out and a symphony concert
- a special dinner theater performance
That gift illustrated the characteristics of an excellent gift.Memorable gifts should - be active, not passive
- have continuing value
- increase the enjoyment of life
