The assertion claims that people remember gifts they have received, because those people gave them something of significance.

In life, we often receive gifts that are given to us by other people. Therefore, we remember that person.

However, we know that people remember special gifts or presents that they have received, because those people gave them something of significance.

Therefore, the statement concludes that people remember special gifts or presents that they have received, because those people gave them something of significance.

However, the speaker’s argument does not hold water. People remember how special a gift is, not whether it was given to them by a significant person or not.

While it is true that we value gifts that are given to us by someone important to us, it is equally true that we remember those gifts based on their value to us. For example, if I receive a birthday gift from my grandmother and I find it to be worthless, I may not remember who gave it to me. On the other hand, if I receive a birthday gift from my grandmother and find that it cannot be replaced, I may remember it for a long time to come.

I remember receiving a handmade card from my grandmother many years ago. I still remember how thrilled I was to receive it, because it was a handmade card. It didn’t cost anything, but it was made from her own special hands. The memories that the card evoked were so intense that, even now, when I look at it, I can almost feel the warmth emanating from her. In addition, my grandmother was the only person that knew my name and address at the time, and the card was addressed to me personally. Therefore, even though my grandmother did not give me an expensive gift, the card was special to me because it came from her and because she took the time to make it for me. However, the fact that my grandmother did not give me a valuable gift does not diminish my memory of the card.

I remember receiving an expensive gift nearly twenty years ago from my uncle. At the time, I remember feeling very honored that my uncle took the time to buy me a gift. However, the memories of that gift faded, and, now, I cannot recall anything about what the gift was. I am sure, however, that the gift was expensive, because it was a brand new computer that I had to have. The fact that my uncle bought me an expensive gift does not, in any way, diminish my memory of that gift. In fact, it almost adds value to my memories, because I remember that my uncle was willing to spend so much on me. In addition, my uncle was generous enough to buy me several gifts in the subsequent years, but I do not remember any of them. Somehow, I have blocked out those memories, perhaps because the gifts did not live up to the memories of the first.

The conclusion that the statement draws from these examples is that gifts that are given to us by significant people are more likely to be remembered. This is only partially true. In fact, if I remember a gift only because it was given to me by a significant person, then it may well be the case that the gift was worthless. In addition, if I remember a gift only because it was given to me by a significant person, then I may discount the value of the gift simply because of the relationship that I have with the giver. This is especially true if the giver is a stranger, and I may not recognize that the gift was valuable at the time.

I remember receiving several gifts from my parents over the years. While I remember those gifts, I do not remember who gave them to me. In fact, the gifts were often things that they had, in fact, purchased themselves. Some of them were relatively small, such as a pair of socks or a sweatshirt, while others were larger, including a new bicycle or a computer. In any case, the fact that my parents gave me gifts does not diminish my memory of those gifts. In fact, the gifts only add to my memories of my parents, because they took the time to purchase those gifts for me. But, the fact that my parents gave me gifts does not in any way diminish my memory of those gifts.

Because gift-giving is such an important aspect of life, I feel certain that people will remember gifts they were given, regardless of whether they were given by a significant person or not.
