Gifting Novels & Stories

] [The Northern Frontier's Runaway Princess gifts…] The screen continued to fill with an array of flashy gifts. Holly stared at the flood of virtual gifts, stunned. After a moment, she managed to say, “Thank you to the generous lady from the Northern Frontier! We appreciate your support for our company, but please don’t go overboard with the gifts. You should spend wisely! If you’re interested in our product, just click the link below to purchase it. We’ll be donating half of all gift proceeds to charity. Thank you!”

he said with that stupid charismatic smile, holding up a plastic bag with something inside. I warily regarded it. "Come on, Aria. Just give me some time, please?" I exhaled, annoyed. "Fine." I'd left my clothes and towel over by the door, and so I walked over to begin throwing it on over my work out skins. "But for the record...," I said, grabbing the plastic bag from his hand after I'd changed, "this is the shittiest gift wrapping I've ever received." He laughed. "Apologies, it was a last minute gift."

he commented. "For me gifts are really important. You should give someone a thing that is really unique so they can remember you for a long time. I choose it because the woody feeling of it will remind you of home, of me when you'll be away" she replied again with a passion dancing in her eyes. He hugged her suddenly, not able to control himself.

Now here I was with a chance to make her smile and I was hedging. I went back to the cards and frowned as I looked them over. I didn't want one that was actually romantic or leading so to speak, just something thoughtful. I picked one up that had a picture of a red heart shaped box with a ribbon on it. Underneath the box it said 'You are a gift to my heart'. Opening the card I read the short paragraph inside. It spoke of how true gifts were not the ones we received in boxes, but those we received in our hearts, our blessings.

In the afternoon, Reed Group sent out an impromptu announcement, ordering all top executives to congregate in Bridgeport for an emergency meeting. Meanwhile, I was enjoying a peaceful afternoon, leisurely settled in a cafe near the Reed residence, sipping coffee while listening to a high-end property agent detail available luxury villas. Oscar was sitting right across from me. I asked, "Are any of the villas to your liking? I'll pay the full amount for you right now, and the deed can be transferred to you as early as tomorrow." "Have you finally figured things out and become generous enough to spend money on me, Ms. Reed?" Oscar teased.

Hearing her words, I felt a surge of absurdity. "And what about Liam? Knocking up another woman while I was away doing research—he's not a disgrace to the family?" "Ava, that's enough! Can't you see I did this for your own good?" Liam's brows were drawn together, his eyes cold as he looked at me. "You can't have children, so I had Chloe give you one. I gave you a gift—the chance to be a mother. Why can't you understand my good intentions?" "Besides, it's a win-win. Chloe's wish is fulfilled, and you get a child. I really don't know what you're so upset about!"

I held my breath when his fingers brushed mine in the exchange, sending chills down my spine. He opened it, and it revealed a silver and obsidian brooch inside. His lips slightly parted, and his expression was different from earlier. I heaved out a sigh. "It carries a blessing of protection, from a divine priest. I thought... perhaps it could guard you." I lowered my gaze, feeling a little embarrassed. "I do not know what to gift you to be honest because I know that you can buy everything... and this is my first time gifting a man." I gulped, my fingers fidgeting. "I asked a friend for an advice, and a brooch was one of her suggestions. I am not certain if you

"You two go ahead. I'm not that hungry. I'll head to the back to tally up the gifts." Lauren grinned mischievously. "Fran, you little money-lover! You must be thrilled with today's haul." "You have no idea!" Francesca laughed. "I've handled millions before, but there's just something magical about receiving gifts—it's a whole different level of joy!" Lauren clapped her hands in agreement. "Exactly! Regular money doesn't hit the same because it's either work-related or tied up in business. But receiving gifts—other people's money being handed over willingly—oh, it's just pure bliss!"

“This is my first time receiving birthday presents.” Raven brought over a purple-ribboned box, and Gia opened it. Caius had given her a pair of beautiful high heels, clearly oblivious to Gia’s taste. Attached is a note: "Our paths diverge." Gia understood the meaning behind the message. It was said that gifting shoes symbolized separation—a break in the relationship. The gift was a joke, though, as they had never been together. Amused, Gia placed the shoes on the floor.

"Uncle Julian instructed me to deliver this gift to Mommy! But right after he gave it to me, he said we have to return it to his vault the exact second the birthday gala concludes. He's so stingy!" The little girl pouted her lips in clear disapproval. "There is absolutely zero logic in gifting an asset to someone only to demand its repossession later." Sarah couldn't help but let out a soft laugh at her daughter's clear-headed assessment. "If an asset is contractually required to return to the original owner, it isn't classified as a gift, sweetheart—it is simply a temporary loan. Furthermore, our own accounts possess more than enough independent capital; if y
