When giving gifts, which do you think is more valuable, your product or your expensive one?

There is an old saying? Courtesy is light and affection is heavy? . This sentence has historical allusions, and the complete sentence is: a thousand miles to send goose feathers, courtesy is light and affection is heavy. The allusion comes from Xu Wei's History of the Road, which tells the story between Emperor Taizong and Mian Bogao, the envoy of the Uighur countries in the western regions. Mian Bogao went to visit Emperor Taizong with a batch of treasures. Among these tributes, the most precious is a rare white swan. When Mian Bogao arrived at Panyang Lake, he wanted to clean the swan. No sooner had the swan been put into the water than it spread its wings and flew away, leaving only a goose. Mian Bogao was afraid that Emperor Taizong would punish himself, so he made up a passage to the effect that I had come here to pay tribute to the treasures and traveled all over Qian Shan. I didn't expect the swan to fly away when I arrived at Panyang Lake. I am sad. I told the emperor today, asking him to forgive me. The last sentence is that the gift of goose feathers is light and important. Emperor Taizong also released Mian Bogao. According to this allusion, I think my handmade gifts are more valuable than expensive ones, and my handmade gifts are more emotional. Whenever I make them, I always think of the people who receive them.

1. Giving gifts on holidays is the most common traditional festival in China. Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival are all important festivals. On that day, you must visit relatives and friends, and gifts are essential. Most of the gifts are solar-related foods, such as zongzi and moon cakes. I bought ready-made gift boxes, and few people thought of making them themselves. In fact, you can abandon traditional ideas and give some gifts that make the recipients more interested.

Give birthday presents every day, 365 days a year. Relatives, friends and colleagues around you will celebrate their birthdays. Every birthday, choosing a gift is a headache. In previous years, it was all bags, lipsticks, clothes, shoes, watches and decorative items, and few people chose their own items. For example, bracelets, rings, cross-stitch and DIY items. Although the choice of handmade products is less than ready-made, it is also my own idea. People who receive gifts will also like it better.

Have you ever made gifts for each other?
