Gifts with significance
Symbolic gifts are presents chosen not for practical value but for what they represent—love, commitment, gratitude, or shared meaning between giver and recipient.
An engagement ring is a symbolic gift; so is a medal for bravery or a key to the city.
The object matters less than its significance: The watch was a symbolic gift marking his retirement after forty years.
