Giving is an action that is widely practiced by us as humans. We give emotion, attention, gifts, advice, etc. There are many reasons why one would choose to share with another but for the most part it is too convey a positive message or vibe to someone else. Gifts are intresting because they have a way of invoking strong emotion when recieved. The idea that someone took their thoughts, time, and energy to reach out to you in such a way can feel great at times. The cool thing about giving is that it can feel just as good being the giver versus the receiver. An example could be if you are having dinner with someone to celebrate your new job promotion. You both get your bill for the meal and you have the bright idea to pay for the two meals. Considering you now are making more money due to your promotion it would be nice to spend a little of it with the person who is sharing your success at the dinner you attended. Be in mind, giving ranges from physical to emotional and spiritual gifts. Just because you dont have an abundance of worldly materials doesnt mean that you cant give in another form and that it won't be appreciated. Always remember, its the thought and emotion behind gifts that make them more special (not the pricetag). So when you find yourself stressing over what you can give someone, dont think of the gift itself, but how do you want them to feel when you give it to them. The rest will fall into place.
