Why Giving gifts makes us happy

donnathypnotherapy

As many of us are busy buying or making personal gifts it’s interesting to explore why giving gifts makes us happy - Gift-giving is a profound social ritual that taps into our deepest emotional needs for connection and empathy. When we select, make and present a thoughtful gift, our brains release dopamine and oxytocin - neurotransmitters associated with pleasure and bonding - creating a sense of joy that often feels even more intense than receiving a gift. The act of giving allows us to express care, strengthen relationships, and experience the intrinsic satisfaction of making someone else happy. By focusing on another person's potential delight, we momentarily transcend our own self-interests and connect with the fundamental human experiences of generosity and compassion, which inherently contribute to our own sense of well-being and emotional fulfilment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
