I haven’t been working at a small company for long and like to give my coworkers small gifts on holidays. It helps make the workplace friendly. Everyone is happy to get my gifts, but no one gives me anything back. It’s not about the price, even a cheap gift would be fine. It's the thought that matters. But my coworkers don’t seem to want to spend money. I don’t understand, are they just cheap or do they not want to give gifts to me? I think I might stop giving them presents.

    What you are doing is truly admirable. It shows that you genuinely care about others. However, it is important to remember that not everyone shares... the same beliefs or way of thinking, and it is not possible to impose your perspective on others.

    Give because it reflects who you are, not because you expect something in return.

    God gives us a gift everyday “life” “breath” but we fail to say thank you to Him but still He gives everyone the same oxygen even those that do evil. He asks us to also do the same.

    Love those that don’t love you back.
    Return bad with good.

    So check your act of giving
    Is it based on the unlimited God or its something that you are doing from your own human heart and for your own glory and praise.

    If it’s from the love of God = unconditional
    If it’s from your own human heart = conditional

    So continue…..
    The world needs more people like you.     more
