10 Things You Might Not Know About Gifts

2008-08-02T22:39:00.000-07:00

1. A Voluntary Deed

A gift is the act of giving that does not require anything in return. That begs the question of whether or not Christmas gifts in our western sense really are gifts, as they often do require a gift to comply with social norms.

2. Goods Do Not Have to Be Material Objects

A gift does not have to come in the form of a wrapped parcel. It can be anything that makes the other party happy (or sad), including favours! This can include gifts of kindness and of forgiveness.

3. Gifts for Many Occasions

Did you know that it has become customary in different cultures to give gifts on more than the obvious occasions of birthdays and Christmas? It is also customary to give gifts at a wedding, for a wedding anniversary, at a funeral (where visitors bring flowers and the family give food and drink after the ceremony), for a birth, for passing an exam, mothers and father day, and at a party (such as wine at a dinner party). It even includes buying a round of drinks at the pub!

4. The Statue of Liberty

This may have been the largest gift in history. It was given by the French to the United States of America to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

5. The Trojan Horse

Some say there is no such thing as a free lunch. Well on this occasion, the gift of a giant wooden horse was not all that the Trojans thought when left as a parting gift by the Greeks during the Trojan war. It was filled with Greek soldiers who exited the horse behind enemy lines and let in the entire Greek army to the Trojan stronghold. The trap worked spectacularly and is considered one of the most cunning ploys in military history.

6. Valentines Day

On February 14th every year, lovers exchange gifts to show their love to each other. Valentines cards and red roses have become symbols of love, particularly in Europe and the USA.

7. The Most Famous Gift?

Possibly the most famous, and maybe even the oldest recorded gift was that of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh given to the baby Jesus in the new testament of the bible by the biblical Magi (or the three wise men as they are more commonly known).

8. The Act of Charity

Giving money, goods or services to a charitable organisation is also a gift.

9. Pay it Forward

This concept was penned by Benjamin Franklin. The idea was to pay someone to give a gift to another to "do a deal of good with a little money". This is not to be confused with the 2000 film "Pay it Forward" with Kevin Spacey which depicted the admirable concept of giving a gift to three people, and then asking them to give to another three people.

10. The Earliest Known Gift?

One of the earliest known examples of gift giving was recorded on an Athenian vase from around 450 years bc where a man presents a cut of meat to a young man holding a hoop.

The Reality About Cash Gifting

2008-08-02T22:35:00.001-07:00

The Reality About Cash Gifting We keep hearing about the next BIG home based business opportunity. You know, the one that will make you an instant millionaire and you won't have to do any work to get there. All you have to do is send in your money and the next thing you know in thirty to sixty days you will never have to go to your job again. Yes, and I have a parcel of land ... We also all know that marketing on the World Wide Web can be a hazardous business at best if we know nothing about the company or better yet some of the people that promote the company. More and more we all need to have our scam radar working overtime to decipher the real work at home opportunity from the Get Rich Quick scheme. One of the best profit opportunities ever offered is a "real" Cash Gifting program. Now with that stated it must be brought to light that there is a difference in this type of program. Some cash programs in the past were just "pyramid schemes" dressed up for a night out on the town. Only one person got rich and it was never you! So let's look at what it takes to make a real Cash Gifting program work for anyone that gets involved. Cash Gifting can be defined as: The act of privately or publicly giving another person or entity a declared sum of cash, (as a gift) and giving it freely without coerce or consideration. Cash Gifting is in no way a loan or any type of payment for goods or services received. Now guess why it's called a cash gift... because that's exactly what it is. Let's lay out a few of the reasons some of the Cash Gifting programs in the past have failed in a very short time: 1) The founders of some of these programs had no concept of how to set up a proper Cash Gifting program to assist the members with a functional "business model". 2) No tracking system was devised to keep all of the members abreast of what monies were coming their way or when to expect them. 3) There were no legal documents created nor provided to outline the transfers of cash gifts from one person to another. 4) In some cases there was no proven or tested marketing system provided for the members. Along with not providing tested marketing concepts, the members were set up to fail before they ever got started, unless they were seasoned veterans. So what did this all lead up to? In the past many Cash Gifting programs quickly got labeled as unethical and some were called pyramid schemes or even scams. Now, in most instances this was not true, but without a proper "business model", destiny prevailed. I'm sure a large number of us have received the "Send $5 to 5 people and you can make a kazillion dollars in the next 30 days" letter. That type of Cash Gifting letter is the perfect example of the old adage "one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch".
