Welcome to the grand finale of this writing contest, which is the

winner announcement.

Every creation arrived as a gift to the readers, each extraordinary in its own way—The "gift of giving" refers to the profound joy, satisfaction, and selflessness experienced when providing support, gifts, or resources to others, the expression of sharing, often highlighting that the act of generosity is rewarding in itself. It encompasses both a spiritual ability to generously share resources (time, money, talent) and a psychological "warm glow" effect that enhances personal happiness.

Together, the stories and poems enriched the vast cavalcade of the forum.

Creative Writers showed us, that life is an opportunity to slow down and reflect on the positive aspects of our lives, even in the face of challenges. Giving, sharing and gratitude aren't just fleeting emotions, it's a way of living that brings lasting happiness and contentment.

While reading, readers found both wonder and warmth—moments to treasure beneath the shelter of shared creativity!


Big thanks to all the wonderful writers and Poets who poured their creativity into the Gift Of Giving contest.Everyone shall be gifted a pretty badge!
