we want to see Dr. William Lenney’s discussion why has it been removed for no reason :(

Where's willne

[@akaxk2696]

I've been giving my family cash this last few yrs along with maybe a pair of pj's they are all more than happy with that, experiences are great if you can afford one that suits the recipient.

[@rkvideo657]

Very very good

[@marykay7878]

vouchers/gift cards to buy something needed, from sephora, or amazon, or for experiences like a spa, or a hotel chain or a cinema chain. they will ALWAYS get used!

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

Not always. Make sure it's a company the recipient likes and will use. I've gotten several cards from businesses they like that I do not patronize.

[@UnknownUser.ar1]

In conclusion, give food or ask what the recipient wants. 👍♥️♥️♥️🇸🇦

[@dionneminner9390]

Great info and tips!! Thank you! I’ve shared this with my family and friends!

Ironic that I come across this as I'm wrapping last minute Christmas gifts!🤣🙈🎄🎁🤑💸

[@iam1smiley1]

I have everything I really need and prefer to live rather minimalist, I prefer not getting gifts I'll never use. The whole gift giving thing is a little strange.

[@YounesLayachi]

Agree, without a wishlist there's little chance to make a gift useful

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

Donate them to charity. I won't even ask what is so strange about it.

[@alijoyia6488]

Am just learning in online work but am not sure am leaning this online work is start please anyone help me......?

[@sandra.helianthus]

Good advice, thank you! Ask: what are your needs? 🌻

[@goodintentions1302]

It's so frustrating to receive candles & bath products when it's been made clear that they aren't something the recipient wants to use. 😕😕😕

[@Gg-ij7li]

Jesus Christ loves you! Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him! Believe on His name and repent of your sins and be saved! Have an amazing day ❤️😊😊

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

Does no one think of donations to charity? Wow.

[@bukurie6861]

Thank you!It's interesting talk to give piece of advice us😍🌏

[@janschoice3855]

We had such a problem in the family! One birthday, someone gave a man a "generic" aftershave. And it turned out that there was no one who liked it. So at the next birthday, the same unopened box turned up again, and it went on until you thought when am I going to get that bottle? 😂😂👍🏻

[@oneworldonehome]

There is one magnificent gift now in the world, specifically for those who are searching for true meaning and purpose in life. This gift is a book of spiritual practice called - _Steps to Knowledge, The Book of Inner Knowing_ It's a self-study book that will lead you to your true life if you follow its lead. And it's of course free, check it out!

[@user-mz1kt6iz4e]

What's your last name, Ivan, so we can be sure we're looking up the right book by you? Also, maybe list the ways in which you are qualified to guide all of us to said meaning & purpose.

[@johnchapman5125]

Thank you!

I know one gift that keeps on giving (the WHOLE year): a one-year membership in the Jelly of the Month Club.

Every year I give my family and Friends a beautiful Christmas card inside a Christmas card halves money inside of it and scratch off and and $100 gift people will not complain you should see the smile on their face when they getting three things in one beautiful Christmas card

[@charmainemrtnz]

I have given up on giving anything but cash.

[@WealthWay69]

Give just cash in a envelope to your loved one. No wrapping, no packaging, no more waste and pollution...

[@Eagle-gl7bq]

That’s a Chinese Red money envelope 🧧 😂

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

no thought or caring or effort or love, just greedy cash

[@Eagle-gl7bq]

@@TheCommunicationCoach if u think from other perspective, it could be having the freedom to buy what you really need.

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

@@Eagle-gl7bq But it's about the GIVER, not the receiver

[@Eagle-gl7bq]

@@TheCommunicationCoach maybe in my culture, gifting is more about the receiver. But I do understand your point of view.

[@user-mz1kt6iz4e]

What about people who will tell you, in complete sincerity & point-blank honesty, that they really do prefer to not be given a gift. For reasons ranging from, "there just isn't anything I need or want right now, so don't waste your money on a gift for me just for its own sake" to "I don't believe in celebrating holidays with an exchange of consumer goods" to "I really think of days like birthdays & Christmas as a bigger deal for children, so let's do for the kids but, as adults, we might've outgrown the need for a present on those days" to any other reason that could apply to any given individual, some people simply don't wish to be given gifts. But rarely does anyone ever listen to & allow for that personal choice. I'm not talking here about someone who disingenuously says, "Oh, that's ok, don't bother about me", but then will passive-aggressively hold a person having taken that line seriously & gone through with it like it's a cat on their lap, stroking & petting the insult for years to come. I mean someone who genuinely wishes to be skipped over on the buying list altogether. I've been in that position for 40 years, with any number but mainly my own former mother-in-law, who filled drawers & closets with clothes to be never worn & cluttered every wall & corner in our house with items of decor she was just sure would look great at our place. Her standard answer to being politely (most of the time) asked to stop was, "Oh, well, I had to get you something." Could the good Dr. please tell these people how to go about that?

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

I can. After 40 years, she's obviously not going to be dissuaded or stop, so simply take it and donate it to a charity. Merry Christmas.

[@rickharold7884]

Presenter way to stressed about this process. Gift cards are freedom for the receiver.

This is sad she doesn't know consumption is societal collapse, though shall not want just need. That aside the perfect gift is a gift card but they have already figured that out because they want optimal consumption to further the destruction of planet and society.
