Whether we hear that someone is sick, having a rough time, getting a new job, or has another reason to celebrate, what is one of the first things we do? Most people ask, \u201cHow can I let someone know I care about this?\u201d Whether you want to do something to make a sick person smile or recognize a happy occasion, many people gravitate toward giving a gift.<\/p>\n

It is believed that gift-giving dates back to the days of cave-people. These primitive gifts, which may have been a nicely shaped piece of tree bark or a cool rock, were used as ways to show affection or status. As tools developed, gifts became more elaborate \u2013 people could create jewelry, for example, or carve things out of wood or stone.<\/p>\n
In ancient Egypt, people often gave gifts to Pharaohs. Romans often gave each other gifts for good luck, a tradition that spread throughout Western civilization and still exists today.<\/p>\n
In Medieval times, gift-giving was a common form of expression of allegiance to the king. Gift giving in the form of a wedding dowry was also quite popular, using cattle, coins, and other animals to give to the family of the betrothed. Remnants of these traditions can be found in modern societies across the globe.<\/p>\n

Research shows that giving gifts allows us to express ourselves in a thoughtful, meaningful way and that we benefit from knowing the recipient understands that when they open our gift.<\/p>\n
