What would you consider a most novel gift? The days of books, flower bouquets and gift cheques made way for jewelry, especially diamonds. The punch line was ‘diamonds are forever’. But, only a few could afford such luxuries. No one has, so far, seen any ad in any media that encourages one to go in for novel gift items. Therefore, welcome a new line of thinking – it is a pet. Any pet, be it a puppy or a kitten or a cage of budgerigars or even a bowl of fish increases the value of the gift several times more. No, you cannot wear it round the neck to show it off in office, but it will certainly light up your home when you return after a hard day at the office. The meow of the kitten or the puppy entwining itself around your legs or the excited chirpings of the birds or the fish swimming up close to get a better look at you will add a new dimension to your life.
