Generally speaking, human loves appreciation which is an attribute of the creator. In addition we prefer rewards or expect the appreciation in kind or cash, there and then some understands better the essence else, the word ‘ Thank you’ is not different from a known slang. When most people reply your vocal appreciation with “Don’t mention”, they’re indirectly telling you; ‘ I don’t need that’.
Well, that’s on a jovial part.
Out of several beautiful gift items, if you’re given opportunity to pick just one, there will always be a perfect one amongst them. Now the attribute of uniqueness may depend on several characteristics and will certainly differ both to the giver & the recipient or even a third party.
But then there’s/are uniqueness found in one that may generally be accepted by all.

Of all gifts God has given and still gives to humanity, Christ remains the one and perfect gift from God. Yet God still gives us many more gifts which some may attach excess importance to and think its the best.
From wealth to children, from wisdom to skills & talents, from mercies and grace to life and other unquantifiable gifts God has bestowed, Christ is still the unique one.

Alternatively if we were to offer to God a gift of all He gave us, which becomes the perfect gift?
Every good and perfect gift comes from God above- James 1:17.
Of all the crops of the farm land, God only demanded of the first fruit reason best known to Him. – Ex 23.

Giving any of the gifts received back to Him, wouldn’t mean they’re perfect, remember the uniqueness for perfection must be bidirectional or multidirectional – pleasing to God, us and/others.
Paul admonished the Roman brethren, “I beseech to present yourself as a living & holy sacrifice, that which is acceptable to God.” – Rom 12.
In other to present an acceptable gift of ourselves requires transforming our minds, changing our reasoning, thoughts and that’s Only possible when your mind is willing and ready to accept Christ into your life and the Holy Spirit is realised to initiate and control your thoughts & reasoning.
There’s no other gift perfect enough to give God other than that we have received from Him- your Life.
What have you that you’ve not received from God?
