We love giving fits.
We love getting gifts as well.
If we get gifts at any occassion; we become happy and that made our day.
If we get gifts at any casual day (without any special occassion); we become surprised.
So, for gift givers; its very awkward to not preparing for the special day. That is why I wanted to make this page a special gift giving holiday page where every single holidays and special days of this world will be enlisted. I should’ve created this page at the beginning of this website; but you know what, its never too late to start.
