I like this idea.
Originally I wanted to say that imho gift giving ideally comes after having a solid connection and desire to be together.
Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes when it doesn’t work out, those same sweet gifts that helped strengthen a relationship become haunting.
But then I thought of all the good stuff…
It’s also a material connection. I don’t know… There are many benefits.
Good idea and suggestion…
It is nice to give and receive gifts. They work for the moment and allow people to give pleasure to the physical while maintaining physical separation. If it doesn’t work out then one can find new meaning in the gifts.
Gift giving can also include handmade creations, which allows a person to give by channeling into the imagination and spiritual.
A while ago I read that the kallah and chasson give many gifts to each other from their engagement leading up to their wedding.
It also creates a pattern or habit of thinking and providing for the other person, which is a great preparation for marriage.
I wonder if this is a love language thing. Some people may want to be listened to and would find that a greater gift and emotional draw than a material gift. So in this case maybe the other person would be best off giving the gift of an understanding ear.
Whichever type of gift, I like how you thought of a way to build that connection. I think at the basic level there would need to be attraction and desire on both ends to willingly stay with each other as they work on their emotional connection with giving gifts.
