Definition of Gift: Something given willingly to someone without expected payment or return. A present.
There is something special about giving a gift, not just for the person receiving it, but for the giver as well. This is the 5th word in my bauble series. I created this one because “gift” is a word that fully embodies the holidays. It is stitched in a rich royal purple. I feel it perfectly symbolizes the joy of the season while celebrating the magic of Christmas giving.
