We all like receiving gifts. Often we like making them. I think that the pleasure to choose a gift for a dear one is even more subtly enjoyable than receiving a gift ourselves. In most of cases, when the present isn't simply a formal gesture of social obligation, we try hard to select what can please the receiver. But often we commit the involuntary mistake to think of our own tastes rather than the receiver's ones. True friends are also particularly precious because they know and respect our tastes and they know what we'd like receive, even though it's not necessary what they would like receiving at their turn. I treasure all the little gifts which are a concrete proof of the knowledge my friends have of me.
