Alright, so one present that I have given someone is a present that I gave just this Christmas. I gave this present to my cousin, who is about 12 years old. It is a holiday present, basically a Christmas present, and it is a present that I think my cousin will use in the future. This present is actually a book. I know that my cousin is intelligent, so a fiction novel specifically geared toward young adults is the present that I have given him because I believe that my cousin will read and learn a lot from this present. Compared to other gifts, like the gifts that I give to my younger cousins, this is a little bit more expensive because it requires a little bit of funds. The money for buying fiction novels is a little bit more expensive compared to toys. Also, this requires more thought on what kind of book I want to give to my cousin because I have to choose book genres as well as other kinds of books that are appropriate for my cousin's age. I decided to give my cousin this book because not only will he learn from it, but I think the lessons he will learn from it will be useful in the future. I believe that my cousin will also enjoy this book, not only in a short time but for a long time after, as it has also given me some sort of enjoyment.
