Neoxian City: Writing Prompt #21

Hello Hivers,

We live in a commercialised world. People’s desires and needs have changed accordingly. As a result, gifts have also changed in their variety, extravagance and frequency. Nevertheless, the best gifts are sometimes the unexpected or humblest ones.
Gifts are very special because often both the giver and the receiver obtain a lot of pleasure. Gifts can also have a significant impact on us or could even be life changing.
