This simple act of generosity creates a deep bond between the giver and the receiver. In fact, studies show that this altruistic gesture activates reward circuits in the brain, generating a feeling of shared happiness. In giving, we also receive a positive emotion and a moment of human connection!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More than an object, offer a human link!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give a gift is to choose to create a bond, to mark a moment.
