Little presents may not stand out but sometimes it is the smallest things that take up most of the space in your hearts. Rest assured, it will always stay with your loved ones and will remind them of you with every breathing moment.
While the art of gifting has become more about the status quo, in the end, it all boils down to how much you care about that one person. There will be a thousand occasions to gift but there will be only one to shower kindness!
