The first situation that comes to mind is when I gave my father a ticket to visit me. I live quite far from my parents, so I decided to buy him a plane ticket to celebrate his birthday. The present was a flight ticket, and it was truly appreciated because my father misses me dearly and he was eager to come to Turin to see me. I decided to give him this gift because he works very hard and needs a break. We always tell him, "Dad, take a break!" But he never listens. So, I decided to give him this ticket so he would be forced to come to Turin. I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time together.
