Every person probably has received a gift at least and some of them remain it longer in our mind. Likewise, people remember special gifts or presents and there are following subsequent two reasons why people remember it.
First, the action of giving the gift is a traditional custom. From the the long ancient to medieval and even contemporary period, gifts were used to express thankfulness. Such custom was passed down so that nowadays people can recognize the value or meaning of the gift. Indeed, there are lots of historical pieces about exchanging gifts. For example, according to the ancient historical data or facts, people who lived in the period of Mesopotamia civilization shared the gift in order to show the favor. In the medieval period, Santa Claus who sent the gift in Christmas was pretty prevalent story in the fairy tale. Children at that time also looked forward to Santa Claus' gift. In the 20th century, from Tom and Jerry show, which is released in 1930s, we can directly catch the importance of exchanging the gift, in particular, on Thanksgivings or Easter day.
Next, the gift is contained sincerity. The reason why we give the gift someone , family and sweethearts, friend just a name a few, is that obvious : they are precious existence. The heartful gift contains a pen letter for receiver's fortune and is packed brilliantly or luxuriously as well. Somebody was significantly moved by such precious gift so that they remember it forever. For example, In the newspaper, I read a diligent solider whose leg was amputated by unfortunate accident ; when he worked to abolish dozens of mines in the demilitarized zone, one of them detonated around him. He was luckily alive and after he was felt better, President in South Korea gave him the gift for the purpose of his honor. The gift was consist of rare specialty in South Korea. Furthermore, it contains a President's letter that was worried about his health and thanked to his spirit. He was so touched because of the unprecedented gift and he expressed the thankfulness for the President.
To sum up, I think that people remember special gifts or presents that they have received because the action of sharing the gift is a quite traditional custom and the gift is contained sincerity. Hence, We cannot never miss the gift in Christmas and our birthday or coming-of-age-day and so on.
