Is a letter a good gift?

It works best when the point of the gift is the relationship rather than the object - a milestone birthday, an anniversary, an apology, someone far away, or a person who already owns everything. A letter is the one common gift that cannot have been given to anyone else, because it is made entirely of specifics only the sender has, and it is the kind of thing people keep for years in a drawer. It is a poor choice if the person has asked for something specific, or if you barely know them.

To your wife

You keep a fast for my long life, and I don't have words big enough for that kind of love. So I'll keep it simple: choosing you was the best thing I ever did, and I'd choose you in every lifetime. Happy Karwa Chauth, my moon.
