The Best Birthday Gift Ever!

All over the world giving and receiving gifts is considered one of the best ways of expressing one's feelings. It is a way of showing our love and care to someone. It also is a way of rewarding and motivation a person. No wonder 'gifting' has become such an important and integral part of our life. In fact, not only important, it has come to be extremely common too and has become a part of our everyday life, both personally and professionally.

Receiving gifts is always a joy and a lot of fun. Like everyone else, I love receiving gifts too. In fact, I eagerly look forward to all the occasions, throughout the year, in which I am sure to receive gifts. Of course, birthday is one such special and probably the most common occasion but there are many others too, especially festivals like Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, Christmas etc. and special days like Friendship Day, Valentine's day, Mother's Day, Father's Day etc.Every year I receive a lot of gifts on most of these occasions. While generally I like most of the presents, there are some that I don't like. However, one of the presents that I received this year completely swept me off my feet.

Since childhood, I have had a fetish for anything and everything that has a pleasant fragrance. Therefore, it goes without saying that I am extremely fond of perfumes. Everyone from my family to friends is aware of this and so someone or the other has always gifted me one at some point of time or the other. Thanks to all of them, I have a huge collection of some wonderful perfumes. I absolutely love using them as they make me feel beautiful and confident.

Like every other time, this year as well my birthday was celebrated with a lot of happiness and fun. As always we had a dinner party at home where all my friends and local relatives were invited, even though I had already had a lunch party with my friends! But as one can ever spend enough time with their friends, I called them over for dinner again. It was an awesome party and I was having the time of my life. Being with the people who love you and whom you love the most is a wonderful experience. We all ate, sang and danced for hours and all in all had an amazing and memorable time.

As expected, there was a huge pile of gifts waiting to be unwrapped, once the dinner was over. One by one I took of the wrappings to reveal my presents. I had got an absolutely stunning pair of diamond earrings from my parents, a trendy top from one of my friends, a stylish pair of shades from another, a classy bag from yet another, a beautifully designed suit from my uncle and aunt, an awesome wrist watch from my brother and obviously a crazy good perfume, from my best friend. Needless to say I loved all these gifts and was overjoyed at having received them. However, there was one gift, apart from these, which majorly stood out. My sister had got it for me. It was a beautiful hamper of some of the most wonderful things I have even seen. It was a piece of heaven packed in a box for me. It was a collection of the most exquisite and decorative home fragrance products.

My sister is very well aware of my obsession with perfumes and everything that smells wonderful. While she was out in the market trying to find a suitable gift for me, she came across aromatherapy home fragrance and home decor products and decided to purchase them for me, as she thought they would make a wonderful gift and I would absolutely love them. She was so right!

Inside the package was a reed diffuser, an aroma oil burner, a scented candle and a bag of potpourri. All these products were in a specific fragrance - lavender. Oh! It smelt divine. Immediately I put up all of them and the effect was awesome. It was breathtaking. Not only me, a person who loves fragrance in any form, but everyone else in my home loved it too. There was something about these products that made them different, that made them special. The enchanting fragrance of the reed diffuser and the potpourri and the captivating scent and mesmerizing look of the lit aroma oil burner and the scented candle created a magical ambience.

The best thing about these products was that not only were they very effective in aromatizing my whole home, they added an aesthetic appeal to its decor too. They gave my home a look and feel make over as they somehow transformed it into a fresh, fragrant, relaxing and soothing place. I loved all these wonderful products so much that I quickly made a mental note of using them on a regular basis. As the evening drove to a close, I felt that the evening couldn't have ended on a more beautiful and pleasing note and I couldn't have had a better birthday party. Those lovely aromatherapy products made this birthday one of the most special and memorable days of my life.It was, truly, the best birthday gift ever!!
