THE HEART OVER THE PRICE TAG 🏷️…

Giving gifts has never really being my thing as a person. I have been called different names by different people because of this fact. I might have many people in my life but then only few of them are my closest friends and trusted pals. I don’t have any problem when it comes to making friends but when it comes to getting and giving gifts, i am a bit drawn back in that aspect. Making friends is one of the easiest things i do but then trusting them blindly is something i can’t do. I have only received gifts from few people in my life, and most of these gifts come only on my birthdays and not on every other days…
Over the years I’ve only received gifts from few of my friends, another set of people who don’t hesitate to give me gifts is my family, I receive gifts from them not only on my birthdays but quite often…
The expensiveness or cheapness of every gift given to me has never been a problem to me, when i get gifts from people, I don’t look at the size, amount or shape of the gift, what matters most to me is the fact that someone like me is being remembered and recognized by you, and for that reason they thought to give me a gift on that special day, i will be grateful and forever filled with gladness and happiness. The thought and intention behind that gift is what counts not the expensiveness of the gift. What matters most is the heart not the price…
The only set of people i give gifts to are those that has made significant impact in my life since i was born. The ones I know are my true friends, the ones that won’t hesitate to lend a helping hand when i need them, the ones that stand by me not only during sweet times but also during tough times, the few trusted friends of mine. I make sure I celebrate them whenever the opportunity present itself, i do so in terms of gifts and in other ways. I have just a few trusted clicks offline, which has made everything easy for me…
Be it low budget gift or not, i don’t care about it, the only thing i care about is the heart behind the gift and the fact that i am being remembered greatly by that person is a whole lot…
I remember my 2022 birthday, this particular birthday of mine was celebrated in my tutorial. Well, I didn’t tell many people about my birthday to avoid unnecessary expenses, i only divulge information like that to those in my click. I only told a few about it, and these few are just acquaintances formed in a couple of months, everyone found out in one way or the other. The day came and i was all dressed up to go to my tutorial, on getting to class the first set of people who came to wish me were the guys in my click. The class ended and i was planning to just celebrate my birthday with those in my click…
To my greatest surprise, Sunkanmi who happened to be in my click walked up to me with a wrapped gift, i was still there standing surprised and extremely excited when Precious and Favour walked up to me with something in a small nylon. I became so happy that i had to hug them to express my gratitude…
I got to my brother’s shop and decided to unwrap the gifts given to me by my friends. To my greatest surprise, i got a T-shirt from Sunkanmi and varieties of sweets from the twins. On a normal day i don’t eat edibles from friends on theirs or my birthday, I only accept them and give out or dispose it, but because of the fact that they considered me a friend and even managed to get me something on that day, even when i knew they didn’t have much made me extremely happy…
I just couldn’t help but break my rules that day, I brought out the edibles and ate them with happiness in my heart. In this case, the price of the gift didn’t matter to me, the heart behind the gift was all that mattered…
In summary, anything within your budget and capability as a person is a low budget gift, do your best with a good heart and it will be appreciated…
In conclusion, There’s nothing like low budget gifts to me, what matters is the heart and to always stay within budget when you decide to gift someone something. Don’t give a gift that will harm you or put you in debt. Do what you can afford to do and that too with your whole heart…
