Did you ever return a gift and feel *good* about it? This is my story! I recently returned my son's birthday present, and surprisingly, I couldn’t stop smiling. It wasn't about the gift itself; it was a deeper realization about our evolving relationship and his changing needs. He's growing up so fast, and this experience highlighted how important it is to truly *see* him.
The present was thoughtful, but impractical for his current interests. Instead of letting it gather dust or forcing a thank you he didn't mean, we decided to exchange it for something he genuinely loves – a coding kit! It sparked such joy and excitement, and witnessing that was priceless. It felt much better to support his passion than hold onto something out of obligation.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson about mindful gifting and prioritizing connection. Watch the video to hear all the details!
