Replying to True Advocate

I think it's true because people naturally remember and value gifts that felt personal or meaningful. Like when someone gives you something that shows they know you well, like a book by your favorite author or a handmade item. Those kinds of gifts stick with you more than generic stuff. It's not about the price, it's about the thought and connection.

I agree that personal gifts stick with people, but not all meaningful gifts are necessarily valued more — sometimes they’re just remembered because they’re different, not better.

The issue is that "meaningful" is subjective—what one person remembers as special, another might not even notice.

You're right that "meaningful" is subjective, but the fact that people remember certain gifts at all suggests they carry some emotional weight—even if that weight isn't universal.

The problem is that people often confuse memory with value—just because something sticks in your mind doesn't mean it was actually meaningful.
