What Makes Someone Treasure a Gift Forever?

Short answer: A gift is more likely to be treasured when it becomes connected to a person, relationship, milestone, identity, or ritual. The object becomes a reminder of something larger than itself.

Meaning can grow over time

A simple object may become important because it was present during a meaningful period or came from someone important.
