According to a poll by Gallup, it’s believed that the average spend on gifts for the festive season last year was $885. Considering that many people are living beyond their means, or simply just struggling to make ends meet – it’s quite a shocking figure! It’s true that gifts are an important part of human interaction and a way of showing how much we care about each other, but stores are full of mass produced, impersonal products.

There are some simple, yet substantial changes afoot in the world of gifting. Beginning with online card sellers, it is now possible to produce an entirely unique gift, and have it sent out the next day. This has now spread to engraved jewellery, personalized T-shirts, and even Valentine’s Day poetry books.

This change is vastly important. The power of a gift comes not from its utility, but what it represents. It really is the thought that counts. People receiving personalized gifts feel that the giver really understands them and this provides a greater level of joy for everyone involved. I came across http://yourislandnews.com/choosing-the-right-non-profit-for-your-holiday-gift/ while researching a different topic and couldn’t help but feel your readers might be interested in my article idea on the beauty of meaningful
gifting.

I’d love to contribute a full article on this topic because your readers will be certain to find these tips and ideas relating to meaningful gifting both intriguing and useful. I would be happy to do this in return for including a mention of a previous piece I’d worked on. Please let me know what you think, I’d be happy to get started right away.

Best Regards,
Jennifer";}i:7;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"11";s:4:"slug";s:12:"verification";s:4:"name";s:12:"Verification";s:4:"type";s:12:"verification";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:1:"0";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}i:8;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"12";s:4:"slug";s:27:"please-enter-any-two-digits";s:4:"name";s:27:"Please enter any two digits";s:4:"type";s:6:"secret";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:2:"13";}i:9;a:7:{s:2:"id";s:2:"13";s:4:"slug";s:6:"submit";s:4:"name";s:6:"Submit";s:4:"type";s:6:"submit";s:7:"options";s:0:"";s:9:"parent_id";s:2:"11";s:5:"value";s:0:"";}}
