Gift giving is an art, a joy, a practice. I remember the women in my family always brought a "carinito", a little something or token of care to gift others as they moved through their lives. It could be something as simple as dulce de leche "natillas" or powdery wedding cookies, but they never left the house without something to offer others they'd meet. I eagerly carry this tradition on with passion and zeal. You're welcome.
