Think back on the greatest gift you've ever received. What was it? Now, give the gift exchange a 180 degree turn, and remember the favorite gift you've ever given? I'll bet neither gifts were gift cards! For the past month, I've been researching men and women, boys and girls for their favorite gifts, given and received. Interested in what made these gifts special, I dug deeper than the item, and asked for the story behind the choice. The results were fascinating.
Every single person mentioned the importance of personal involvement and connection. You might not think so at first when you hear the selection. For example, Millie, a 73-year-old woman describes the diamond earrings her late husband, Harold, gave her. George, a 47-year-old 'techie,' smiles as he told me that his was a set of golfclubs from his brother. This is not the end of the story, however.
