Gift Delivery Success Story: Sending Gifts from Germany to Kazakhstan

As deeply self-conscious people, we constantly ponder whether we are of any use to humanity at all. Gifts—so what? A mere trifle, isn’t it? The blue planet could easily keep spinning without them. It’s a good thing that, from time to time, our beloved and loyal customers grab us by the scruff of the neck, preventing us from plunging into despair. They sit us down on the therapist’s couch, give us a slap for our defeatist attitudes, and insist, with iron in their voices, that it’s all worth it. We save a transcript of one such gift delivery success story conversation here to read and reread monthly. You can read it too.
