A good gift

A good gift is like a good meal.

A good meal - sometimes a good meal does not have to be expensive, extravagant, or delicious even. A meal becomes good when dining with the right company, the company of friends or loved ones. 

That is why food critics often dine alone. That is because when one dines alone, one truly tastes the food and drinks he/she is consuming. The food critic is then able to objectively judge the quality of the food without external interventions, and focus solely on the taste and presentation of the food. At least that is, theoretically...

How can one truly be objective and focus solely on the food itself without regard to the environment aspects, such as the decor of the restaurant, the ambience, or even the plate which the food is placed. All these factors play a part in the presentation of the food itself. 

Likewise, like in a present, how can a gift recipient focus solely on the gift itself, when a gift is truly made up of the sum of all its individual parts? 

Individual parts such as the wrapping, the texture of the wrapper, the look and feel of the gift, the ribbons tying it, the handwritten card that accompanies it. Or even the poem, or text handwritten in the card. And even the gesture of personally delivering the gift by the gifter, instead of relying on 3rd party delivery services.
