Most of the time people think that a good birthday gift idea is the one with highest price tag or the latest model, but with time, we grow to realize that the best gifts are free and do not even involve receiving. If we focus ourselves on material things alone, we will have this empty space in our hearts that cannot be filled.

Material things can only feed the body, but when it comes to the soul, there is one way to feed it. A boss of a huge company only found the fulfillment he was looking for when an employee had a good birthday gift idea! That idea was making a donation to charitable institution in his name. When the boss saw how much a little amount of money can change the lives of a family in a third world country, right then and there he knew what was missing in his life. Making donations to charities now became his major activity.
