Gift giving has two parts because there is a giver and a recipient. Giving is an act of love with no strings attached whether we toss a few coins in street buskers cap or spend hours making a beautiful (in our eyes) purse the intent is the same - to show to that person that they are worthy of our time, effort and money. On the other hand to receive a gift is also to recognise the value placed upon their worth by the giver and therefore be grateful. What that person does with your gift is not your concern, you have done your bit. It is said that it is much better and easier to give than receive and if you think about it have you ever had a gift that you were less than ecstatic about?? I'm ashamed of how many of my gifts end up as raffle prizes
