Giving feels as good as getting. When we give a gift, we want the recipient to know that we thought about what they would like to have. There's nothing like seeing the smile on someone's face when they recieve a gift they love. That feeling can last all year if you choose the right gift. Here are some gift ideas that give all year.

Great gift ideas.. Thanks for the help.
Some great ideas
Great giving ideas, an interesting thing happened as I started to read your opening comments on giving and receiving.
I struggled for years with receiving and a lesson was learned one year at Christmas when I refused a hamper that was needed. The lesson the Pastor of the Church I was attending stated to me " You need to question the motive of your giving if you struggle with receiving".
The lesson learned give with a thankful heart and receive with a more thankful heart knowing that is being given in love.
Blessings
Thank for writing about this. You got my attention today, chocolate, coffee and fruit, are wonderful in my life. Well written, thanks for adding the website links.
Thanks for a list that provides some ideas.
If you can't afford one of these, consider a book of movie vouchers - the recipient can use them when they want, or when they are feeling a bit down.
Thanks for the ideas. Will Bookmark.
Regards.

Thanks for these wonderful ideas. Well Done!
Wow these really are great gifts to give that continue throughout the year. I would love the books or the chocolate!
Thanks for all the great ideas suziecat7! Just tonight a friend of ours was getting a big promotion in Martial Arts, along with a few others of a lesser degree. We had a small ceremonial cake made just for him. The look on his face made us feel so happy, we just knew how special it made him feel. It truly is better to give than receive.
Thanks for the hub, there are some great ideas for Christmas. I am really focusing this year on being prepared (I'm usually a Christmas Eve shopper :) The links are really convenient, thanks for adding them. The movie clip was a great addition too.
This was awesome!

You are absolutely right about giving gifts. I love to see a smile spread across my children's and wife's face when they open their gifts. Christmas Vacation is a hilarious movie.
