Good gifts that bring joy to a loved one. You always want to bring joy to a loved one What brings joy to a person
Dr. Glenn Williams, professor of psychology at Nottingham Trent University, says: “The path to happiness goes beyond major events that we have planned, such as marriage, moving, new job or even vacation. It lies in the small, often unexpected joys of life that can make us smile every day. They are the ones who will help us build a happier and more fulfilling life for ourselves and for others.”
We offer 40 little things from everyday life that bring us true happiness.

What are the little things that bring you joy?
Word of loveTo love is first and foremost to give.
To love means your feelings, like a river,
Splash with spring generosity
For joy close person.
To love is only to open your eyes
And immediately think again with the dawn:
Well, what would please, bestow
The one you love with all your heart?
To love is to fight passionately
For loyalty and word, and every look,
To have their hearts to the end
And in sorrow and in joy forever near.
Is love waiting? Well, of course, waiting!
And tenderness awaits and warmth, but only
Does not conduct accounting calculations:
So much given, so much taken.
Love is not a piggy bank in the closet darkness.
The song doesn't tend to close.
To love is to respond with joy
For all the good things on earth!
To love is to see any object,
Feeling a kindred spirit nearby:
Here is the book - has he read it or not?
Pear ... And how does he like this pear?
Trifle? From what? Why is it empty?!
Sometimes they even save lives.
Love is a cherry banner of happiness,
And in happiness there is no trifle!
Love is not a continuous firework of passions.
Love is faithful hands in life,
She is not afraid of black days,
No seduction and no separation.
To love means to defend the truth,
Even rebelling against the entire universe.
To love is to be able to forgive in grief
Everything except meanness and betrayal.
To love means as many times as you want
With pride to endure all hardships,
But never, even at the hour of death,
Do not settle for humiliation!
Love is not a cheerful thoughtless bow
And do not reproach that they beat in the ribs.
To love is to have talent
Maybe the biggest and kindest.
And to hell with pathetic reasoning,
All feelings will go away, like water in the sand.
Only hobbies are temporary.
Love, like the sun, always lives!
And I don't care about cynical laughter
The one who cannot measure starry heights.
After all, these poems are mine only for those
Who is able to love and believe with his heart!
Eduard AsadovLove is long-suffering, forgiving offenses...
LOVE IS LONG SUFFERING, forgiving insults.
LOVE IS MERCY by giving its own.
LOVE DOES NOT ENVY, whoever you are,
NOT PRAISED humiliating yours.
LOVE IS NOT PROUD of important successes.
LOVE DOESN'T BE MISTERIOUS in the name of victories,
DOES NOT get mad at everyone,
DOES NOT THINK AND EVIL, and does not do trouble.
LOVE COVERS your shortcomings
AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING that you say in response;
FORGIVING ERRORS, does not grumble furtively,
AND EVERYTHING CARRIES, giving you light.
LOVE WILL NOT JUDGE, rejoicing in the truth,
FROM THE JOY OF THE TRUTH, it blooms, as in paradise.
LOVE IS SELF-SACRIFICE - everything is for you.
LOVE WILL NOT SHINE your weakness...
LOVE ONLY HOPES for better moments.
LOVE WAITS, rejoices, sings,
AND ALWAYS BELIEVE that someone needs you;
LOVE IS YOUR REFLECTION.

Know how to cherish love
Doubly cherish over the years.
Love is not sighs on the bench
and not moonlight walks.
Everything will be: slush and powder.
After all, life must be lived together.
Love is like a good song
and the song is not easy to put together.
I wish you well
I smile and my heart cries
on lonely evenings.
I love you.
This means -
I wish you well.
This means my consolation,
words are not needed and meetings are not needed,
and do not need my sadness,
and do not need my anxiety,
and do not need to be on the road
we met sunrises with you.
And old age looms in the distance,
And it's time to forget a lot...
I love you.
This means -
I wish you well.
So how can I leave you
how can I take the memory out of my heart,
how not to warm your cold hands,
the unbearable burden of those who took it?
Who will say, my joy,
what we need
and what is not necessary
advise how to be?
No one will tell us about it
and no one will show the way
and no one will untie the knot...
Who said love is easy?

You don't have to give away your loved ones
Neither those who are nearby, nor those
Who are far away, almost invisible.
But often the closest!
When everything is perfect
And life burns like a banner
Why worry about happiness?
After all, everything comes true and so!
When from evil or sharp words
The soul sometimes hurts and breaks -
Do not frown in irritation.
Brace yourself! Let's say it again and again:
Happiness must be fought for!
And in the storms of sharp explanations
God bless us every time
From nervously red-hot phrases
And bad decisions.
It has been known almost since antiquity:
To love dishonestly is not given,
Therefore, neither the vengeance of jealousy,
No entertainment of any frailty,
No hops, no secret infidelities
Love is not worth it!
So, fight and decide:
Let there be joy, let trouble
Fight, argue, advance
And just don't give love
Never give up!
Love
Love without measure is patient
And full of mercy
Without envy, exaltation
She is always out of pride
She is not familiar with the darkness of debauchery
She is not looking for her
Not irritated by evil
Doesn't even think of evil itself
Love does not laugh at lies
But always glad to the truth
Covers everything, believes everything
All she hopes
She endures everything in life
Though the image of the world will pass away,
Love takes away all sorrow
And never stops
One
She was treated with respect everywhere.
And a hard worker and a good wife.
And life suddenly went without regret:
There was a husband nearby - and now she is alone ...
Weekdays ran in an even sequence.
And the same friends and respect,
But something suddenly arose,
What sometimes you do not immediately understand:
Friends, young at heart,
Sometimes visiting her as a friend,
Already joked like in the days of old
With her husband, they never decided.
And, saying that life is almost nothing,
If the heart is not warmed by caress,
Sometimes they hinted to her that
Sometimes they hinted at her ...
And then at a meeting they will predict her boredom
And even get annoyed in the heat of the moment,
Kohl someone's too affectionate hand
She shakes off her knee or her shoulder.
They did not believe: it breaks, plays,
Tell me what honor preserves!
One of two things: or stuffs the price,
Or someone has been there for a long time.
And it was not clear to anyone
As one, she is faithful to him!
***
Don't rush to leave!
Stay at the open door!
You can't easily forget
Those who love you, who believe in you!
Don't be quick to reject
When your soul is opened...
Get the seal of wisdom
Just keep silent!
You can do it, I know.
Don't rush to fall in love
All feelings immediately rejecting, -
You may not be warm enough
To alienate the ice melted.
Don't rush to succeed
Find a moment to stop!
And suddenly you find out
And where it is necessary to appear ...
Do not rush to forget everything
Avoid silly thoughts...
How difficult it is to return everything!
How hard it is to go back!
***
I'm not sorry that I was not loved by you -
I don't deserve your love!
I'm not sorry that now I'm tormented by separation, -
I love hot in separation;
I'm not sorry that I poured and drank myself
Humiliate the cup to the bottom
What about my curses and tears and prayers
You remained cold
I'm not sorry that the fire that boiled in the blood
My heart burned and tormented -
But I'm sorry that I once lived without love,
But I'm sorry I didn't love enough!
***
You and I are stupid people:
What a minute, the flash is ready!
Relief of an agitated chest,
An unreasonable, harsh word, -
Speak up when you're angry
Everything that excites and torments the soul!
Let us, my friend, be angry openly:
The world is easier and more likely to get bored.
If prose in love is inevitable,
So let's take a share of happiness from her:
After a quarrel so full, so tender
The return of love and participation ...
***
Whatever life teaches us
But the heart believes in miracles:
There is an unrelenting strength
There is also imperishable beauty.
And the withering of the earth
Flowers will not touch the unearthly,
And from the midday heat
The dew will not dry on them.
And this faith will not deceive
The one who only lives by it,
Not everything that bloomed here will wither,
Not everything that was here will pass!
But this faith is for the few
Grace is available only to those
Who is in the temptations of strict life,
How could you, loving, suffer.
Aliens heal ailments
He knew how to suffer,
Who laid down his soul for others
And endured to the very end.
***
Dear friend, can't you see
That everything we see
Only reflections, only shadows
From invisible eyes?
Dear friend, don't you hear
That the noise of life is crackling -
Just a garbled response.
Triumphant harmonies?
Dear friend, don't you hear
What is one thing in the whole world -
Just what's heart to heart
Saying hello?
Love
As soon as people do not call Love -
Poison, poison, witches' drink.
But for Love this meaning is unknown -
It is of a different nature and has meaning.
Madness, fever, obsession -
No one can guess.
She, "only" - Bless us,
In a cruel age, in a crazy age.
Run, run - how to escape from the plague,
God forbid us such pleasures!
But for Love your words are in vain -
After all, GOD is Love, oh man...
Who told you that, they say, Love is under jurisdiction?
What will God condemn, never forgive?
Love Law "lawyers" misfortune -
She covers sin!
How can it be?! Again blasphemy!
And well, knit, to his cross! To the cross!
So it was with the Lord - he did not judge by feelings.
But you judge. So who are you man?
On holidays like New Year, gifts should be made to all relatives, friends or even acquaintances. In that good holiday I don't want to offend anyone by missing a gift. And it threatens with considerable financial costs.
Therefore, it is worth giving inexpensive, but pleasant and funny little things, taking into account the tastes of the person to whom the gift is presented. In any case, the choice of gifts should not be left until the last day.
A joyful gift will be a basket filled with a bunch of different thematic usefulness. It can be sweets, fruits, Christmas decorations, cosmetics, care products, set essential oils and other nice little things. Things and objects that friends have been looking for for a long time or pleasant little things that they constantly use will be especially pleased. A warm and sincere gift will be beautiful candles and candlesticks. Now you can find a lot of different and original specimens of interesting shapes and sizes. Aroma candles will bring special comfort to the house. Everyone knows that the book best gift, especially the one that is matched to the taste of a friend, or which he himself has long wanted to purchase.
Numerous girlfriends can be presented with: small mirrors, makeup brushes, manicure tools or nail polishes.
You can also please friends with such trifles as, for example:
- Chocolate bars beautifully tied with ribbons;
- Sweets of an unusual shape;
- All kinds of stationery;
- Funny notebooks or diaries;
- Soaps of unusual shapes or handmade;
- Pretty box;
- Key ring;
- Case for tablet or mobile phone;
- Torch;
- Lamp.
If a friend smokes, then a lighter, stylish or funny, will be a great gift. The original ashtray will also come in handy.
Handmade gifts will be especially original. The idea for such a gift can be found on the Internet. There are a lot of master classes on making gifts of varying complexity. For example, you can knit scarves or weave baubles for all your close friends.
The time spent together will also be an unforgettable gift for you. You can order a joint photo shoot. In addition to good emotions, it will also leave pleasant memories for a long time. A joint trip to the cinema, bowling or to the skating rink will be fun.
A surprise will be a cake of an unusual, congratulatory shape ordered in advance, which you can all try at the solemn celebration.
Of course, what gift you bought is important. In a well-chosen gift, originality and taste are manifested. But no less important is how this thing will be presented. You can adequately present not the most good gift, but hopelessly spoil the impression of the expensive and original. To do this, it is important to know a few basic rules for giving gifts.
They do not go to a celebration or just to visit empty-handed. Even if the main gift has already been given, or will be given later, you can take a bottle of good alcohol, sweets or a bouquet of flowers. For small child you should grab a toy, sweets or fruit.
Usually women do not give flowers to men. The exceptions are anniversaries, birthdays, or if the man is much older than the woman.
The gift is given immediately after the greeting. At a party, flowers are given to the hostess of the house.
It is important to wrap the gift nicely and neatly. A gift that is accompanied by sincere, warm, unbanal wishes will be especially well received.
Probably the most common mistake will be to tell about how hard the gift was found, how much you had to pay for it. It doesn't show you in the best light. If you donate clothes, and it may not be suitable, the check should be given in the same package with it, so that you can exchange it in the store. If you are giving a gift to several people at the same time, then you should be especially careful. No one should be singled out. It is necessary to try that the gifts were as similar as possible in price and significance. If you are going to give someone a less expensive gift, then you should present it in a more original way.
A woman should not be the first to give a gift to a man. The exception is birthday. From a man, a woman has the right not to accept as a gift too expensive things that put her in an awkward position or oblige her. You can also refuse tactless and too intimate gifts.
Money must be handed over in an envelope or a special gift card. It is appropriate to accompany such a gift with a bouquet of flowers or sweets. The same goes for gift certificates.
It is important to remember that the most expensive gifts are made for weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
In no case should you donate old, already used or unnecessary things. The exceptions are naturally antiques and jewelry.
Hello dear blog readers! Every little thing can help you feel happy man because they make up our everyday life. It is not necessary to wait for something huge and incredible, you can smile every day, feeling inner harmony. But everyone has their own joys of life, and today we will try to figure out how they can be discovered. Ready?
How to find your reasons for happiness?
A responsibility
First of all, you need to understand that only you are responsible for your well-being. And no one else is obliged to figure out how to please you. Yes, even parents and family partner. If only because no person is capable of guessing what you want at the moment, especially if he is deprived of psychic abilities. So you need to make efforts on your own, and try to figure it out, constantly listening to yourself and your desires.
Distribution
Distribute some unimportant, but pleasant things for each day. No matter how busy your everyday life is, you simply have to find time for yourself, your relaxation. So take a calendar and plan, let it be a trip to the cinema on the 1st, and a visit to the massage therapist on the 2nd, come up with it yourself, but everything should be clear in the diary.
act
If people would turn them into reality every time they came up with some worthwhile ideas, there would be far fewer unhappy, unsuccessful and depressed individuals in the world. Therefore, learn not just to dream, but to immediately take some steps towards the realization of what you want.
List
Make your personal list of amenities. Let them be simple, for example, like the smell of a freshly lit match, or a heart-shaped crack in the pavement near the house, but they are quite real and easily achievable.
listen to your heart
That is, you should not be guided by the tastes and preferences of other people, even significant ones, do what you like. Appreciate your life, so do not be patient and pretend, but allow this luxury - to be yourself. So embark on this great journey of knowing and exploring yourself. Try different foods, listen to different styles of music, look for something that will delight, and if you find such things, moments - cherish them.
Measure
There must be a measure in everything. If you eat your favorite red caviar every day, there will come an hour when you start to feel sick at the sight of it. So you need to control the dosage, and to make it easier - you need to have in stock a large number of pleasant little things.
Depreciation
You know, it is important to be able not only to discover small joys, but also not to devalue them, especially when they cease to surprise and give pleasure.
For more information on how to achieve harmony on your own, you can read the article.
Amenities
If you have read the article, then you know that happy is the one who knows how to be in the present, stop and notice himself and the world. This is the only way to see how beautiful everything is around, to listen to your own thoughts and feelings. And today I offer you completely free, and almost everyone accessible reasons for joy:
1. Sounds of nature
If someone feels sad when listening to the drumming of the rain, then maybe, with the sound of the surf, he feels light? Listen to how the wind sways the leaves, how the stream runs, or the bees buzz before a thunderstorm - this is real, natural and alive, and you become a witness to this mystery of nature.
2. Bread from childhood
Did it happen in childhood that you were sent to the store for bread, but you didn’t bring it all? And all because the crust is so crispy, warm and delicious?
3. Morning
Isn't it wonderful to wake up in the morning, make delicious coffee or tea, and go out onto the balcony, street, admire the sea, forest? The beautiful landscape will leave few people indifferent, and at least once a year indulge yourself in the beauty of the environment. It is not necessary to fly to another country, try to look nearby, for example, just meeting the dawn on the river in hometown or village.
4. Bath
What a bliss to take a bath, and after it lie down in a clean, fresh bed. I don’t even know what kind of person this event will not delight.5. Sand and grass
In summer, step on warm, but not hot sand, or allow yourself to take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the grass.
6. Give
Many people like to receive gifts, but, unfortunately, not everyone likes to give. Try to surprise a loved one for no reason. Joy is contagious.
7. Evening
Drink delicious tea wrapped in a blanket and watch an interesting movie, especially if the weather is bad outside. Take advantage, perhaps something from the list will give you pleasure.
8. What do we have?
Sometimes we forget about it until we get sick or face some kind of limitation, but the most important reason to experience happiness is the ability to live and meet a new day in the morning. Believe me, it's a lot - just to walk, and not need someone's help even in such a seemingly simple matter, how to relieve yourself.
Therefore, in the morning, remember your capabilities, and thank fate, the body, God and whom you believe there, that you can get up and go wherever you want, see the sky above your head and something beautiful. And not to be depressed that it’s back to work and the weather is bad outside. Believe me, many would be extremely happy if they could change places with you.
9. Pulls
In the morning, open your eyes, stretch, relaxed, slowly and with pleasure.
10. Keep warm
Chilling on a frosty winter day, climb into the shower and bath, and warm yourself in hot or warm water.
11. Bubbles
Who can leave indifferent bubble wrap? How little you need to enjoy, right?
12. Clothes
Come home from work in the evening, and, finally, take off your tie, shoes and other items of clothing that are rather tired or pressed during the day.
13. Travel
Let it be a walk around the neighborhood, but it can give new impressions and emotions. How well do you know every corner of your city and its history? Pay attention to quests, they are now organized in every city, new acquaintances, information and an element of the game - allow you to take a fresh look at your life, giving excitement, interest and fun.
14. Smile
smile to a stranger, especially for no reason, and get a smile in return.
15. Nostalgia
These are pleasant aching sensations in the chest, which I can quite inspire and motivate. Have you been flipping through your children's album for a long time, or reviewed photos that evoke tenderness, fun, touchingness and all sorts of warm, pleasant and soul-warming emotions?
If alone it’s not particularly interesting, show close people, look at them together, along the way telling the story of the creation of pictures or a brief biography of the persons depicted in them - this brings them together. And with regard to children, it also develops, they must know the history of their kind, especially their parents. Yes, and some funny facts from your childhood will surprise them and help them look at you differently.
Conclusion
And that’s all for today, dear readers! Perhaps your main pleasures lie in completely different little things, such as the smell of a child's hair or the feel of soft pet fur in your hand, indicated here - just examples that are worth paying attention to. Be careful and let the miracle enter your everyday life, because in fact, the efforts that a person spends to be unhappy are equal to those of being happy. And the choice is already yours, and I hope you make it in favor of yourself.
