If I had to choose between opening gifts from someone or giving gifts to someone‚ I would choose the giving. I like to give gifts more than receive them. I find it very enriching to have my family and friends enjoy the present that I gave them. The best joy of having my family and friends receive gifts by me is the expressions on their faces when they open the gifts. The main reason why I like gift giving is because of the reactions of my family and friends. I put a lot of effort into finding the
