There is no denying this conviction that most gifts we receive are clothes.
What the clothing was? and Who gave it to you?
Recently one of my bosom friends gifted me a leather jacket of the Nike brand.
When did you get it?
Last year my country was in lockdown due to the corona pandemic. When the administration finally lifted the lockdown, I had a sigh of relief.
As I wanted to do some adventure, I went to Manali to spend quality time with one of my bosom friends. Over there my friend gave me the leather jacket.
And explain why this person gave you the clothing?
I had made an all of a sudden plan. Due to that, I did not carry the appropriate clothing. While sightseeing I was feeling uncomfortable and I started suffering from a cold. The reason for feeling uncomfortable was that I didn’t have a jacket to prevent myself from the cool breeze at that hill station
To make me feel comfortable in the cold temperature of Manali, my friend gifted me a leather jacket. It took me three days to recover from the cold, and then I started roaming in the hills of Manali.
The jacket gifted by my friend helped me to remain warm in the cold temperature of Manali. Moreover, it looked at me.
The rest of the trip went well, and I thanked my friend for helping me during a challenging time.
Introduction 4
Being a shy person, I do not tend to experiment with clothing. I choose to remain simple. However, recently due to circumstances, I had to wear something different.
What the clothing was?
The clothing was traditional Indian attire called “Sherwani”.
Who gave it to you?
One of my friends gave it to me.
When did you get it?
Last year our nation was in a state of lockdown. Due to that, I had to remain indoors for six months. When the administration lifted the lockdown and started the unlocking process, I had a sigh of relief. To celebrate the freedom, I immediately rushed to attend the wedding of one of my bosom friends named “Nischay.”
As I didn’t have much time at my disposal, I packed my clothes and went to attend the wedding. During that time, my friend who had hosted the party gave me a brand new “Sherwani” to wear.
And explain why this person gave you the clothing?
My friend gave the clothing to me to make his wedding day special. As all his college mates and bosom friends were present at the wedding, he tried his best, to make that day memorable.
To do so, he made his wedding celebration a theme party. All male guests had to wear a Sherwani, and all-female guests had to wear Lehanga.
Being my buddy, Nischay was well aware of my clothing choice. He knew very well that I would not spend money buying a “Sherwani”, he decided to buy one for me.
To my surprise, it suited my personality, and from that day, I have started experimenting with clothing.

A gift helps us to stay in touch and keep that individual in our life.
I also give so many different kinds of gifts to my loving ones
But here I am going to talk about a time when received a gift from my sister.
Last year on my birthday I received a parcel without the sender name.
I was excited to open it.
My younger brother open this parcel, there was a set of t-shirts of Armani brand.
The T-shirts were in three different colours white, blue and grey.
The T-shirt was of premium fabric.
I wear my favourite blue colour t-shirt.
It was very pleasing to wear this top brand.
But I was confused as to who sent me this gift.
In the evening I got a call from my friend who lives abroad.
He wish me and asked how were the t-shirts.
I was shocked and realized that he had sent me this gift for my birthday.
He knew that I was very fond of wearing T-shirts. That’s why he sent me this t-shirt.
I asked him why did you send me such an expensive T-shirt?
He told me in a funny way that now I earn in dollars, not in rupees.
We laughed a lot and remember the old days we spent in schools.
So it was an item of clothing that someone gave me
Introduction 6
I would like to describe a coat my parents gave me as a present on my 18th birthday. I must say that it is really smart and exactly to my liking.
The coat is made of cotton only and by a Vietnamese clothes brand. It is a kneelength black coat, which was in fashion at that time. What I like the most is that there are two deep side pockets, so in winter, I always put my hands into those pockets to avoid the cold. Besides, I can button the coat from top to bottom and it’s also got a decorative waist belt.
I am so fond of this coat that I usually wear it every winter. It fits me perfectly and makes me feel comfortable and warm, no matter how cold the weather is. I keep myself warm by wearing the coat with jeans and boots, which match it well.
In fact, I have never thought whether it will be out of fashion. As this coat is a gift from my parents, I treasure it a lot and – for sure – I will keep wearing this coat in the future.
