lavished

Gave without restraint

Lavished is the past tense of lavish, meaning to give or bestow in generous, even excessive quantities: She lavished attention on her grandchildren, He lavished praise on the team.

The word suggests abundance bordering on extravagance—more than strictly necessary, given freely and without restraint.
