The Gift
When evening school was over on Friday, my friend Lin said to everyone, "Fellow citizens, don't forget, I have a birthday next Monday, I hope you will send gifts, then I will respectfully invite you all to eat cake." We all laughed at him for asking for a gift, but in our hearts we were wondering what to give.
Friday's homecoming was the usual big bag of laundry and leftover snacks. As soon as I entered the door, my mother greeted me with joy, let me see the pot of braised chub, every time I go home is a big fish, I symbolically look at the eye to go out. "Where are you going?" My mother called out to me, I smiled: "Someone's birthday, buy gifts!" My father poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Don't spend your money!" I replied, "That's not okay!" And trotted out the door.
The gifts were bought, and a sumptuous meal was put on the table, like every weekend in the past, with all my favorite food, and my father, who never dabbles in wine, took out a bottle of red wine, and joked to me, "Daughter, drink some brown sugar water." I avoided while saying: "Dad, today open the wine abstinence, from the New Year is still far away, you can say that this wine to stay until the New Year to drink ah!" "You kid, let your dad drink when he's happy! Today you came back just in time for your father's birthday." Mother interjected casually.
Ah, today is dad's birthday! My chopsticks stopped for a moment, I'm a daughter, I can't believe I don't remember my dad's birthday, no wonder my dad was so happy when he heard me say that someone had a birthday! My father saw me freeze and said, "Quick, eat more!" I nodded while picking up the chopsticks, look at the table dishes are all my favorite food, and then look at my parents' wrinkled smiling face, alas! I don't know if it's my father's birthday or mine.
My heart fluttered, remembering that when I was a child, I had used a piece of cardboard to make a birthday card for my father, and I had drawn a crooked picture of our family of three holding hands and playing games happily, and I still remembered my parents' smiling faces of gratification at that time; and I remembered that every year my parents had given me a birthday, and even if it was hard and tiring, they had never missed one of my birthdays. As I grow older, I have forgotten my father's birthday, and of course my mother's, but I can casually name the birthdays of a few good classmates; usually have been ignoring parental care, and only pay attention to friendship with classmates....... Thinking of this, a wave of remorse can not help but arise. I made a big mistake! Hopefully, this mistake can still be repaired.
After dinner, I took out the gift I bought for my classmate Lin, and now it was the only thing that could express my love for my father. I held it up to my father and said, "Dad, this gift is for you, except that it is engraved with the words, 'A friendship that lasts forever'." I never said that the gift was bought for a classmate, or that the unfilial daughter had forgotten her father's birthday. My father looked at it and said happily, "It's okay. Besides, we both need friendship, don't we?" I nodded my head in realization, but in my heart there were tears.
This will be wrong gift let me know a lot ......

Gift for mom ----- hair card
Author: Zheng Zixin Published:2007-09-16
Twelve years old, time flies so fast. Because we don't need to worry about the storms of life, in the warm love of our parents, we just grow up happily. Time really flies for us, and when I took a closer look at my mom, I realized that time had long ago carved tiny wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. And her long hair is no longer as soft and flowing as it used to be.
If I were to give a gift to my mom, what should I give her?
Today I was carrying the fifty dollars I won for my essay, walking down the bustling street, attracted by the wide variety of goods on the street, and thinking only of buying a gift for my mother that would make her happy and satisfied.
I stopped in front of a hairpin store. The mild autumn sunlight shone through the glass window, and the jewel-encrusted cards sparkled with colorful light in the sunlight. Suddenly I remembered that I met Auntie Sun in my mom's office a few days ago, and she said, "You mother and daughter have the exact same hairstyle!" , her words inspired me, why not buy a chic hairpin for mom.
I asked the shopkeeper to bring me a few hair cards to choose from, usually mom is not good at heavy makeup, she always does not use cosmetics, simple and generous. So my eyes fell on a black hairpin with jewels. When I looked at the price tag, it was exactly fifty dollars, no more, no less. I can't afford to buy it if the price is a little higher. I happily paid the money and hurried home by car, wanting my mom to see this exquisite hairpin soon.
At the door, mom is sitting in the sofa for me to knit sweater, she just mopped the floor is still wet. Yes, my mom is busy every day, even after doing housework, her hands are often knitting sweaters, knitting winter warmth for me.
"Take a break, mom!" I took the wool from my mom's hand and set it down, turning her head in the direction of her back to me in the process.
"What are you doing? Don't mess with my hair! Where have you been? You forgot to drink your medicine again! I'll go heat up the medicine for you."
"I'm not busy, I'm going to be a hairdresser today, I'm going to make a beautiful hairstyle for my mom."
"Huh! You can be a hairstylist? Don't you make a fool out of me! My natural hairstyle is better than any hairstyle."
"I'll make sure you're happy then." I said as I picked up a quarter of my mom's hair with the comb I had prepared and used this black hairpin to hold it in place, only to see the jewels on the hairpin glittering with colorful light on the waterfall of black hair, as if it were the icing on the cake, it was beautiful.
"You can go look in the mirror."
Mom curiously walked over to the mirror and turned her head sideways to see the hairpin in the mirror, first in surprise, then in wonder.
"Where did that come from?"
"I bought it for mom, of course, and guess how much it cost! Do you like it?"
"Thirty dollars or so? How did you get the money?"
"The money I won for my essay! Fifty dollars."
Mom's eyes widened in surprise, then she took the hairpin off her head and examined it carefully, but immediately smiled happily.
"That's your own money! What a waste to buy a gift for mom. It should have been kept as a souvenir."
"How is buying a gift for mom a waste, it's the happiest thing I've done since I was twelve, as long as mom is happy with it."
"Of course I'm satisfied and happy, Di'er has grown up, how understanding! Mom is so happy today! But no more buying in the future!"
I re-combed my mom's hair again, and looking at this exquisite hairpin on her head, a beautiful smile spread across both my mom's and my face.

"Cousin is going to study in America." The news spread like wings to the ears of family and friends. The gifts sent to her were all satisfactory, and she found the letters of congratulations to be earnest and reasonable.
There are three days left before my cousin leaves for the United States, so what should I send her? I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
What should I give my cousin? I'm not sure what I'm going to give her. No. Then send books? Well, cousin already did. I must give my cousin a special gift. I thought about it in the morning, I thought about it at night, I thought about it at dinner, I even dreamed about it. Finally, in the two days left before my cousin went to the United States, I came up with a gift for my cousin: I want to embroider a topographical map of China for my cousin, and embroider a full moon on top of the topographical map; and then I will send a bag of clay from my hometown, so that my cousin will remember that the moon is bright in her hometown and people are close to her hometown. Let cousin every day to see the topographic map of the motherland, as if back to the embrace of the motherland; every day to smell the breath of the hometown soil, as if stepping on the hometown land.
That night, I dug some soil from the flowerbed in front of my house and put it into the embroidery bag I made, and took out a needle, thread and a piece of yellowish cloth, and began to embroider a topographical map of China and a golden yellow full moon. It was late at night, and the house was surprisingly quiet inside and out. My mother had already fallen asleep, but I wasn't even a little bit tired. At midnight, I finally finished the topographical map of China, which looked like a big rooster. Next, I took out a red pen and drew a red five-pointed star where the capital city of Beijing is. I was trying to let my cousin know that when she comes to the United States, she must see more of China's capital city of Beijing, see more of her motherland, and not forget that she is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and a descendant of the Dragon.
The next day came quickly, at dawn, my mom and I took a fast car to Hangzhou airport to see off my cousin. After a while, we finally arrived at Hangzhou airport. I took three steps toward the terminal. At this time, the friends and relatives who came to see her off were already in the waiting hall. Cousin and the gang saw us coming and greeted us busily. "Cousin, I want to give you a special gift today." "What gift? So mysterious, quickly take it out." "Nini, take it out." Grandpa couldn't wait either. I took out a packet of clay and a topographical map of China embroidered with silk thread, "Cousin, this is the topographical map of China that I spent all night embroidering, this is the clay dug from in front of my house, and this is my gift to you." Cousin was stunned at first, then seemed to understand what I meant by sending these two gifts to her, with tears in her eyes, she took the gift with trembling hands and nodded her head, "This is one of the most precious gifts I've ever received, Cousin, I'll cherish it."
Cousin had just finished speaking when the radio rang out, "Please get ready for all passengers going to the United States, the plane is about to take off, please board the plane immediately." Cousin picked up her duffel bag and said, "I'm leaving, don't worry everyone, I'll study hard and I'll miss my country and everyone." After saying that, she said goodbye to everyone again, and walked towards the runway full of people, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
The plane took off, and my cousin flew to the blue sky with my heart's desire to fly to the other side of the ocean--America. I silently read in my heart: cousin, the moon is the hometown Ming, people are hometown pro, may you learn to come back to contribute to the motherland!
Comments This article not only describes the process of sending my cousin to study in the United States, but also focuses on the conceptualization, production, and delivery of a gift to my cousin - a bag of clay from my hometown and a topographical map of China embroidered with a full moon. The whole piece can show the author's high sentiment, but also can show the author's dense conception, thoughtful writing.
4. Birthday Gifts
This month was a tough one. It happened to be a good friend's birthday, and the pocket money was pretty much spent. I felt my pocket and only found 80 cents. The first time I saw a friend on her birthday, she sent me a big bag, but I only gave her 80 cents, so how humiliating! In the past few days, I couldn't eat or sleep because of this incident, so I took a few books to read. From the book I read a sentence that touched me especially y: A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, a villain's friendship is as close as wine and meat. If we spend a lot of money to buy gifts, we have become a small man's friendship, haven't we?
Suddenly, I had a bright idea, thought of a good way, and jumped out of bed at once. I got a piece of red cloth from home, and then used eighty cents to buy some needle and thread. I first cut the red cloth to the size of a handkerchief. Then I used a watercolor pen to write the words "Happy Birthday" on the red cloth and drew a simple flower underneath. Finally, I followed the adult's example and stitched along the frame with a pencil. Because it was my first time, the needle often stuck into my finger and I bled bright red, but I didn't care and continued to embroider with all my heart. I embroidered handkerchiefs all afternoon, and I was so tired that my back ached.
While I was satisfied with my gift to my friend, I still dragged my heavy feet to attend the birthday party held by my friend. As soon as I entered my friend's house, I saw that the house was full of guests, and big bags of gifts were placed beside them. When I saw these, my heart couldn't help but beat faster. At that moment, my friend greeted me with a smile. I stammered, "This ...... is ...... my birthday gift to you, which I sewed with my own hands." As soon as my friend opened it and saw the words embroidered on it, she burst into tears of excitement and said, "We can definitely be best friends, because you gave me true friendship." When everyone saw it, each of them cast a praising glance.
From this incident, I y realized that: money is not everything, there is something more valuable than money, that is - sincere friendship

The preciousness of a gift does not lie in its expensive price, nor in its huge quantity, but often in the significance it embodies ......
Small Jie is my classmate in elementary school and my best playmate, and what's more coincidental is that her birthday is on the same day as mine. Therefore, whenever the late fall is approaching, we will be very attentive to each other to prepare a beautiful gift.
This year's late fall is coming again, and she has been missing for half a month, I met with her to come to a store, the bright side is to have a shopping addiction, the secret is to find out her favorite gift.
At the clothing counter, Jie's eyes lit up. I looked around and spotted a delicate plush beanie, wasn't it her favorite red color like mine? I suddenly remembered that she had bought a red striped scarf here half a month ago, wouldn't it be perfect to give her a hat that matched the scarf? I bought the hat on the spot. When I was paying, I saw the strange gaze of the oncoming Xiaojie, had she already guessed that this would be my gift to her?
Another week passed, and we both turned fourteen in the dreary fall wind and flying leaves. Jie and I celebrated each other's birthdays in a restaurant. After blowing out the candles and dividing the cake, it was time for the gift exchange.
I took the gift box handed over by Jie, and inadvertently noticed her smiling face, which was as bright as spring flowers, and guessed in my heart that the gift must be extraordinary as well. I put the gift box in front of her with a big smile on my face. So we opened the gift with great anticipation ......
Opening the box, I was both surprised and touched by what I saw in front of me. The red striped scarf, which was placed peacefully in the box, was just like the red striped scarf that I had seen before. Xiaojie had not yet opened the gift, but she noticed my surprised expression and explained with a smile, "I saw this last red scarf in the store half a month ago and thought that red was your favorite color, so I bought it. How is it? Does it look good? It goes well with that red beanie you bought last week, doesn't it!" After saying that, she slowly opened her gift box ......
"This is ......" she looked up at me, puzzled. When we figured out what happened, we both couldn't help but laugh heartily, both at the beautiful coincidence and the beautiful misunderstandings ......
Even though the scarf and the hat did go together seamlessly, I still took that gift. And I have to say: it was the most precious gift of my life. Not only because it is the best witness of the pure friendship between Xiaojie and me, but also because, collecting that special gift is the same as collecting the hearts of friends who care for each other.
