These days no matter what gifts I give. they are just accepted with not much excitement. I remember those days when even a small gift like a slab of chocolate would light up one's face and it used to be talked about for days on end. What kind of a gift will bring a glow on your face?

I like the creative digital stuff. It will be a nice gift for me. Such as lately I like the Android wear Moto 360. It is cool since I can change many watch faces and you feel like changing new watch everyday. But it is bigger for me wrist and I have to give it up. Besides, this product is not very perfect yet. So I am not going to buy it now. But I don't mind anyone gives it to me as the present

Well, about gifts, I seldom receive gifts but I cherished whatever will be given to me as a gift. During a gathering, the mere presence of an invited guests mean so much.

So you are a people's person. Even I like to meet people but only if the crowd is small like an informal gathering at someone's house.

That is a very good question. Personally, gifts that let me be creative are really tops. Also plants, I think. Many people are bored because they have everything that they want.

Nothing specific. I am happy with any gift that I can get. Reason is the fact that it has been years that I got any gift in the real world. And back when I used to, even a small candy was enough. Remember those white peppermints that were round and looked like a coin and costed 10 paise when they went off the market? Even they cheered me up for sure. I miss those a lot.

Gifts are such a rarity in my life these days that I'm like an over excited child at Christmas whenever I receive one. My favourite is flowers picked from the giver's garden.

Hello Allknowing. Glad to be back here. Well, the best gift for me is good health. If I am healthy I will be able to perform my duties and responsibilities as a mother, wife and as a social worker. I will be able to perform other duties outside my family and my job and become a productive citizen. And if I am healthy, then everything will follow--I will surely be happy, caring and satisfied with my life. Have a great evening!

It depends. If it is the close family member then I would like to have dinner or lunch with them, and if it is from a friend, I would like to go for a movie.

I see you presenting gifts for all.It is a nice gesture.There was a time I liked receiving books , chocolates or perfumes as gifts.But now I am happy if a close family member visits and shares a meal with me.Of course, I keep touch with only very few close family members these days.Yes,I would be happy if they bring some wild flowers they picked on the way.

This is common everywhere. I too love having visitors and we used to have them earlier. But now I have lost interest and do not invite them but if they come on their own i welcome them. Here's a friend visiting you with a wild flower
