Why Do Birthday Gifts Make Us Happy?


  • How often have you heard the phrase, “Happy birthday. It’s your day”? Your birthday is the one day in the year that you can claim as exclusively yours, to be showered with birthday gifts and best wishes as you start yet another year on earth. You may share your birthday with other people, but this doesn’t take away the fact that it is your day, and receiving gifts is a perfect way to celebrate you.

    Gift-giving is a non-verbal language that shows the love that your family, friends, and coworkers have for you. The birthday gift is also a tangible symbol that they know and appreciate you. For example, a friend who gives you this bible bookmark knows that you love reading your bible and would appreciate it as a birthday gift. 

    Some birthday gifts reveal how much the people around you know you. Sometimes you may not even know that others truly see you until they give you a birthday gift that you truly want or need. This leather desk mat may not be your traditional birthday gift. It may not even be something you considered necessary until you received it. It will enhance your workspace, and you can use it as a writing or mouse pad. 

    There are some gifts that you’ll put to use immediately because you truly need them, and now you don’t have to go out to get them. For example, if your keychain has too many keys that it takes a long time to find the key you need, you’ll appreciate this birth month flower keychain. The leather straps are available in a range of colors, including pistachio, sky blue, hot pink, cherry, blush pink, purple, and tangerine. If you get it in your favorite color, it is a bonus.
