You should say   - when you received the gift - why you receive it - what you did with the money and explain how you felt about receiving money as a gift. Answer I will never forget the time when I received money from my grandmother on my 18th birthday. We had a party at my parents' house, and she gave me a thick envelope with a generous amount of cash. I remember thinking that I had never received that much money as a gift. I pulled her aside to say a very big thank you, and then she told me that turning 18 is a milestone like no other, and that she felt blessed to be able to see me step into adult life. She wanted to give me something meaningful and useful. She also wanted to give me the freedom to choose how to use it best. This money was her way of supporting me in a new chapter of my life, as I was about to start university. Her money really helped me out. I decided to put part of it into my savings account for future needs, like university expenses and emergencies. My laptop was quite old, slow, and outdated, so I used some of the money to buy a new one that would last me through my university years. This laptop turned out to be incredibly useful for my coursework, research, and even some entertainment. Receiving money as a gift felt a bit strange at first because I usually got more traditional presents, like books or clothes. In my family, gifting money is considered impersonal, and we usually try to put some thought into picking the right gift for the person to show how much we care about them. But this time was different, and what made it special was the gift of trust from my grandmother to me. It showed me that she trusted me to use the money wisely, which was a boost to my confidence. This is why I think of it as one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received.
