Any kind of present is equally dear to me, especially the one which is long-awaited. At the same time I realize that it’s not about presents at all, it’s about attention which we get from people who are important for us. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what we get for birthday or New Year or any other occasion. The most important thing is to know that people who give us presents think and care about us. I even like handmade presents. It is really pleasant to get something from a friend done by him or herself. Apart from receiving presents, I like giving them to those people who are dear to me. When it comes to buying a present, I try to think this question over thoroughly. There are people who collect mugs; there are people who like clothes and jewelry; there are people who like books or CDs. A lot depends on one’s hobbies and lifestyle. In conclusion, I’d like to say that the most important thing in the present is attention, because the gift chosen with love and sincere attitude will make your friend’s day special.
