It has been argued that giving gifts to friends and family should not be encouraged, because money is often wasted on things that people do not like or want. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

In today's world,
people
try to appreciate or show their feeling to one another by giving
gifts
.
Although
, there are arguments that those
gifts
often are wasted if the
people
do not want that present or they already have it.
For instance
, If I already have an iPhone and if anyone gives me another iPhone it would just be useless because I won't be able to use two phones at the same time.
Additionally
, It a feeling of love or joy for friends and family to exchange
gifts
with each other on special occasions. Sometimes, I disagree that
money
is wasted on things
people
don't want. Because it's a way of certain
people
expressing love to their friends and family and it should not think as waste else it should be appreciated.
However
, there are
people
who agree with
this
thought that the
money
is misspent on the
gifts
.
For example
, there was a time when one of my friends gifted me the gym equipment,
although
, I did not need that when I received it, I started using that equipment in order to keep myself healthy.
On the other hand
, I think
money
is wasted if you buy presents which
people
do not want. Because you don't know what
people
need or already have in their homes. Due to ,
this
you buy them a gift which they already have and that gift is left in the corner unused.
Therefore
, If you are giving them something it's better to have enough information about the person you are gifting. Like, when I gifted my friend an apple watch. I knew he was looking for the watch and since he has all the apple products except the watch, I decided to give him the watch and he really liked it a lot. In conclusion, I think it depends on what and to whom you are gifting the presents too. If you already know that personal choice, you will end up giving the right thing which he/she will like,
Otherwise
Add a comma
,Otherwise
show examples
the gift will useless and
as a result
, the
money
spent on that thing is misspent.
