Christmas gifting: Is it about presents or presence?

Every December, the same question pops up: What’s the real meaning of gifting? Is it about piling up shiny boxes under the tree, or is it about giving experiences and memories that last a lifetime? Some say material gifts are overrated; they clutter our homes and drain our wallets. Others argue that nothing beats the joy of unwrapping a surprise and holding something tangible.
We've noticed that there’s a growing trend of gifting experiences: a spa day, a concert ticket or even a family getaway. These gifts create stories, not just stuff.

Here’s the twist: Does the pressure to buy expensive gifts take away from the spirit of Christmas? Should we be focusing on quality time instead of price tags? Or is gifting still the ultimate way to show love and appreciation?

Here's what you had to say.
