**That special Gift I want before the year runs out**

in hive-147599 •  11 days ago  (edited)
You know what! I consider gift-giving as a way to convey love and appreciation. I don't believe in a run-of-the-mill type of gift but a gift that gives you happiness and meaning in your life. It must express our true feelings that only a thoughtful gift can do and show real affection.

  
You probably know that I have kept two newbies as beneficiaries in two of my posts every week for the last year to keep them interested and make them stay on this website without expecting any return. Yes, I feel happy when they write a message on my comment, and that comes as a gift to me.

What is that special thing you are wishing to get?

I have been using a Lenovo laptop, the IDEAPAD C340, that I bought for AU$900 for the last three and a half years. I am willing to change it and looking for an Apple MacBook Pro 14 Model 4, 2024.

I have been looking to shift over to iOS for the last few months, as I like it best for its high performance. I have seen my friend use it for his professional work and feel that it would be a nice choice for me.

Let me tell you about its features:

Exceptional processing power
Compact design with a sharp 120Hz Mini LED display. This laptop has all-day battery life and when I say all day, it's all day.

How beneficial is that thing to you do well to convince whoever your God-sent is?

I need an upgraded webcam and multiple ports because I use at least three, but my current laptop has just two. The price of this laptop is a little more than my current one but I am ready to spend about $2000, which I believe is the starting price.

But I am ready for someone to spend this amount on the impressive performance offered by this particular model. Besides I am planning to start traveling and its long battery life, lasting nearly 20 hours will serve my purpose perfectly.

The sleek, thin, and lightweight design with a premium feel is all I need, and that's why this laptop is what I need as a gift for myself before the end of this year. It's a nice option, ensuring I can find the perfect gift before the year ends!

How are you going to show appreciation if someone eventually grants your wishes

I don't think I need to express appreciation in this case because that will hurt her ego. She is my wife, and she is doing it in return for my gift to her, which I am not going to disclose here. We were supposed to visit Japan at this year's end, but my wife was not well since she had eye surgery, so we called off that program and decided to spend that money on these gifts.

I agree it's good to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of someone who has fulfilled our wishes, but this was mutual, so I will acknowledge this gift in my own way, which is again a secret. I guess it will be in a way with a personal touch. Maybe I will make a cup of tea for her.

Will you be willing to spread love by granting other people's wishes too?

Absolutely! I am already in the process of doing that which is my regular practice. I have gifted a handsome amount to my daughter, who already started her trip to Japan yesterday, and we would be with her in case this sudden problem with her eyes hadn't occurred.

I love spreading kindness by helping others fulfill their wishes, which is evident even on this site since I have started a contest here which is all about gifting and spreading joy, starting from the first week of December and in the final stage this week. I would have made bigger gifts, but I didn't want to burden my fellow Steemians in case they decided on a return gift.

May your wishes come true soon! Aim for maximum storage within your budget. It might be a bit pricey, but it ensures comfort and freedom to store anything without second-guessing.

Thanks, it is not a wish but a gift from my wife that will be delivered by the end of the first fortnight of January 25. It's a return gift of course but a gift for sure!

You have desire for my dream laptop. I pray you have it as a gift from your beloved wife soonest. Good luck to you.

Thank you soonest but not this year, maybe in January's second fortnight.

Okay that is when you will be going back to Australia 🌏

I am also using a Lenovo laptop that I bought in 2022. It would be ideal if you could purchase an extra one that you may give me as a gift.

Give me your Google location, I will drop it in your garden while flying over Sri Lanka in the month of February next year. I hope you get it in one piece 😄

Hey, that is good idea. Looking forward your gift.

Spending $900 on a system is a lot. That’s like my net worth😅😅😅
But I understand that gadgets are very expensive

The one I am getting in the first fortnight of January will be like $2000 and I am feeling anxious but this one is not available before that. Thanks for your words.

Oh that’s great

I just love the fact that you own way of showing appreciation is kept secret, yes, some gratitude are not to be reveal especially when it comes to do with family and spreading love to your daughter who is going to a trip this season, will mean a lot to her if not for anything but for making sure she is happy.

Thanks and yes, that's right how can belittle my return gifts if I make them public? That's between me and her but a laptop is something which is used for professional work.

THANKS!

This time God has fulfilled many of my wishes including I got a new scooter and a new computer which makes my work even betterI also bought a car for my family in which I take the whole family for a trip and this actually happened in 2024. Actually this year has been the best for me because every year there are ups and downs in life. But there are also years which we remember for a lifetime, for me that is 2024

You should make a post of all your gifts and post it here with your latest wish! I guess I have read and seen all your items which you mentioned here.
