Well, gifting is a way to express our love and affection towards others here I would like to talk about something special I am planning to gift. 

What gift you would like to buy? and Who you would like to give it to? 
Actually,it’s my mother’s birthday the coming month and I have planned to get her a smartphone. The fact is that, my mother still uses an old mobile which is not smartphone. She always pretends that she likes this simple handset but I know her nature. 

Why you would like to buy a gift for him/her? 
She always makes compromises when it comes to her because of her caring nature towards others. But I have planned that I will surprise her with a latest handset on her birthday. I have been saving my pocket money for a year now and last week I went to the market to check out the latest mobile phones. I have short listed one which I will gift her and I’m sure she will love it. 

And explain why you choose that gift?
This new device would be helpful to my mother in many way. Firstly, when all family members go out for work she feels alone and bored but on smartphone she can remain active on social networking applications like Facebook and Instagram to spend her time in an interesting way. In addition, my mother has profound interest in cooking and loves to cook new food items and on her new phone, she can easily watch youtube videos to cook something special for family. 

Lastly, she is quite religious and fond of listening spiritual music which she can listen all the time using headphones without any disturbance.

Conclusion:
Now I am eagerly waiting for the day so that I can surprise my mother with this very special gift.

Being a social person, I love to give gifts to my near and dear ones.

What gift you would like to buy?

I have planned to gift you a laptop. It’s a new generation laptop with decent configuration. Its speed is amazing, and battery backup is of five hours.

Who would you like to give it to?

I would give this gift to one of my bosom friends Andrew.

Why you would like to buy a gift for him/her?

My friend Andrew is a learned person with tremendous knowledge. Despite a good skill set, he is not doing well in life. He is going through a severe financial crunch.

After spending time with him, I have realized that he has not grown in his career because he has not changed himself with the needs of the contemporary epoch.

He is a seasoned teacher, but he doesn’t earn much because of doing things the old way.

The corona pandemic has brought a paradigm shift in the way teachers impart education. As Andrew doesn’t have funds to invest, I would like to gift him a laptop to help him make both ends meet.

And explain why you choose that gift?

Having a laptop at his disposal would help him impart seamless education to his students. Moreover, he can design content as per the new curriculum.

As education is a burgeoning industry nowadays: my gift could help him to jump into the bandwagon and carve out a niche for himself.

Due to these reasons, I have decided to gift him a laptop on his birthday.

There is no denying this conviction that giving gifts to our near and dear ones is a prudent approach because it helps us to strengthen our relationship.

What gift you would like to buy? and Who would you like to give it to?

To foster my relationship with my friend Andrew I would like to gift him a microwave oven.

Why you would like to buy a gift for him/her?

I would like to gift Andrew a microwave oven because he stays alone, and being a lethargic person, he doesn’t cook food and often eat outside. Due to this habit, he is turning obese.

And explain why you choose that gift?

I have chosen the microwave oven because of the benefits it provides. Firstly it cooks at a fast speed. In the modern era, most youngsters remain busy due to fierce competition, and they do not have much time to cook. This equipment is a blessing for such people because it empowers them to cook meals in minutes.

Moreover, the meals cooked in the microwave are healthy, because instead of frying we can bake the food products. Andrew has this uncanny knack for eating fast food every day. With this equipment at home, he will switch to healthier options.

Thirdly it costs less to run a microwave oven. As the prices of liquified petroleum gas are inclining rapidly, it is worthwhile to switch to alternate options.

I firmly believe that giving this gift to Andrew can bring a paradigm shift to his life by making him fit and healthy.

Friends are an integral part of our lives, and it is our bounden duty to provide unabated support to them.

What gift you would like to buy?

I have planned to gift a book named “Checklist Manifesto”.

Who would you like to give it to?

One of my friends named Gordon is going through a lean patch in life, I would like to help him by giving him the book “Checklist Manifesto” to bring a paradigm shift in his life.

Why you would like to buy a gift for him/her?

Gordon is my bosom friend since childhood. During the challenging periods of my life, he has always provided me with unstinted support. Now he has lost hope in his life, and I would leave no stone unturned to lead his life towards an impressive growth trajectory.

And explain why you choose that gift?

I have chosen this gift because, being Gordon’s all-weather friend, I know his strengths and weaknesses. The prominent reason for his failure is a lack of planning.

The book “Checklist Manifesto” contains enough content to teach the significance of doing works by making a checklist. There is no denying this conviction that most individuals think they can execute their plan mentally. However, most of them miss key details while performing the tasks.

This book has numerous examples where the people experienced tremendous improvement in their performance after using a checklist in their tasks because it empowers them to focus on their work without caring about the steps.

I staunchly believe that Gordon can get much-needed success
