Gift giving can sometimes feel like a total drag, right? You know the drill: you get an invite to a birthday bash or a baby shower, and instead of feeling pumped, you feel that gut punch of pressure. It’s like you suddenly have this weight on your shoulders because you think you have to spend a pretty penny to show you care. But what if I told you that gift giving doesn’t have to be about breaking the bank? We’re diving into how to gift with purpose instead of pressure. The truth is, culture has tricked us into believing that bigger gifts mean bigger love. Spoiler alert: that's a lie! Scripture reminds us that it’s not about how much you spend, but about what’s in your heart when you give. We unpack how to flip the script on societal expectations, encouraging you to focus on thoughtful, meaningful gifts that come from the heart. So, the next time you’re about to swipe that card, consider giving a heartfelt experience or a service instead. Trust me, those gifts mean so much more than a price tag ever could!
