Some words about GIFT...
A Gift...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gift or present is the transfer of money, goods, etc., without the direct compensation that is involved in trade, although possibly involving a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or power. In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging gifts contributes to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy.
By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other more happy or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness, and kindness (even when the other is not kind).
The background may be:
 · Someone has more than another
· Something bad happened to another
· Expression of love or friendship
· Expression of gratitude for a gift received
· Custom, on occasions (often celebrations) such as:
o A birthday (the person who has his or her birthday gives cake,
etc. and/or receives gifts)
o Father's Day (the father receives gifts)
o Mother's Day (the mother receives gifts)
o Christmas (people give each other gifts, often supposedly
receiving them from Santa Claus)
o Saint Nicholas (people give each other gifts, often supposedly
receiving them from Saint Nicholas)
o A wedding (the couple receives gifts and gives food and/or
drinks at the wedding reception)
o A funeral (visitors bring flowers, the relatives of the deceased
give food and/or drinks after the ceremonial part)
o A birth (the baby receives gifts)
o Passing an examination (the student receives gifts)
o Supplying food and/or drinks to someone invited in the home
o Giving a round of drinks in a bar.
o Lagniappe A gift may either be an ordinary object or an object
created for the
express purpose of gift exchange, such as the armbands and necklaces in the Trobriand Islands' Kula exchange.
A gift can also be a special talent or ability that was not earned through the usual amount of long and difficult practice but instead comes easily to the recipient in a natural way. A person with such a gift is said to be "a natural"or "gifted" in that field of endeavor. A gift, in this sense, can be thought of as being given by God or by nature: a God-given or natural gift received by one at birth. For example, a fluent and entertaining speaker is said to have "the gift of gab".
Ritual sacrifices can be seen as return gifts to a deity. Sacrifice can also be seen as a gift from a deity: Lewis Hyde remarks in The Gift that Christianity considers the Incarnation and subsequent death of Jesus to be a "gift" to humankind, and that the Jākata contains a tale of the Buddha in his incarnation as the Wise Hare giving the ultimate alms by offering himself up as a meal for Sakka. (Hyde, 1983,58-60)
