I remember a time when my friend Rahul gifted me on my birthday a shirt that was very useful for me. I wear it on special occasions like birthday parties or going to the college on several functions. It was a useful gift for me because it reminded me of our friendship. Rahul and me were not talking about 6 or 7 months because we had a small fight over a bike. But he gifted me this shirt will help us to be more friends afterwards. One thing that I find most challenging about this shirt was its color. It was a white shirt so it is obvious that it will be dirty in less time. So I have to clean this shirt after every time I wear it. This important gift not only improve our friendship. But in the future I will also give him some better gift to encourage our friendship. Moreover this shirt has become part of my style even though it was free for me. It feels like an additional elegant outfit whether I am dressing casually or formally. Sometimes people notice it and compliments its design and it is always nice to share the story of how I received it. Receiving this shirt for free meant more to me than something expensive or luxurious. It reminded me that best gifts are not about their price but about the meaning behind. Every time I glance at my in the mirror I feel grateful not just for the shirt but for the friendship it represents. Overall this experience left a lasting impression on me. If I get a chance I would love to give a similar gift to someone else. In the future I hope to receive or gift gifts that have deep meaning and value.
