I like to receive gifts and now I would like to describe a time when I got something which I really wanted. It was a smart watch which was gifted by my elder brother on my 18th birthday. As I am a gadget freak person, I like to purchase new gadgets when they come into market. I like to collect them and have a great desire to know about their features as well as quality. When I saw that smart watch in an advertisement, I came to know that from that I can come to know about the calories which I have burnt in my day. This is the type of watch which I bought. Moreover, it also helps in calculating the heart rate. The watch helps in listening songs and it is more convenient than mobile phone. We can tie it over our hand and go anywhere. Further, if I talk about how I felt at that time, I was very happy after receiving this gift because my brother is the only one who came to know that what I want and he always fulfilled my wishes and desires. When I got it, I was surprised because it was a special gift for me. It was so good that I felt very happy.

I like to receive gifts, and now I would like to describe a time when I got something that I really wanted. It was a smartwatch that was gifted by my elder brother on my 18th birthday. As I am a gadget freak, I like to purchase new gadgets when they come onto the market. I like to collect them and have a great desire to know about their features as well as their quality. When I saw that smartwatch in an advertisement, I learned that it could track the calories I burned throughout the day. This is the type of watch that I wanted. Moreover, it also helps in calculating the heart rate. The watch allows me to listen to songs, and it is more convenient than a mobile phone. We can wear it on our wrist and go anywhere. Further, if I talk about how I felt at that time, I was very happy after receiving this gift because my brother is the only one who knows what I want, and he always fulfills my wishes and desires. When I got it, I was surprised because it was a special gift for me. It was so good that I felt very happy.
