Give a Loving Gift to Your Elder Sister
Festivals and gifts both go hand in hand with each other. Gifts are not a formality of the festival, but a recognition of belongingness to the festival. These are the symbols of our feelings, which make that festival memorable and relationships colorful in the form of memories. Along with diversity in festivals, diversity in gifts is also natural.
