With roughly 53 million adults suffering from some form of arthritis, arthritis has officially become America’s leading cause of disability to date. In fact, by the year 2030, it’s estimated about 67 million people will be diagnosed with arthritis. I have a post dedicated to gift ideas for someone with rheumatoid arthritis. I wrote it while remembering a co-worker who was suffering serious arthritis at early age. Now, one of my relative has recently had arthritis, so I revisit the subject, but today at a very basic level to understand more about arthritis.

Gifting
Random thoughts about gift & gifting …
From the dictionary: a gift is something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation. Although the definition is fine, it’s a little narrow. Personally, I always feel very rewarding (well compensated emotionally) when giving a gift that brings smiles and joys to someone, either it’s my friend, relative or colleagues.
Gifting is an art…
Also from the dictionary, “gifting is the act or process of giving.” Again, I would really like to expand it to “gifting is the act or process and the art of giving.” Yes, gifting is the art of giving as well. My mom always says it’s important give the right gift to the right person, but it’s even more important to give it the right way. If you have the time and the heart (and the money, of course) to buy someone a gift, why not spend a little more time, put a little more heart into finding out what that person may appreciate more; whether the gift will help solve some of his or her problem such as relieving some sort of pain (back, neck, foot, etc.).
I am lucky enough that I rarely feel obligated to gift someone when occasion comes. However, I totally understand that not everyone can afford to do it the way they want to. Hopefully, through this website, I’ll be able to help you find a perfect gift for your friends and families.
