Elvis's Gift giving was legendary. Elvis referred his gifts as his "happies." The reason Elvis gave gifts so lavishly over the years was because he just loved seeing the look on people's faces.

Seeing people happy made Elvis happy.

The gifts he gave were generally given out of genuine and pure love, admiration, and affinity, but some served as a reward for loyalty, some re-inforced the power balance in a relationship,and sometimes Elvis  (who never liked to apologise for anything) would give gifts as a way of saying "I'm sorry."

In 1956, Elvis gave a maid who looked after his family a car when he found out she had to walk a mile from her home to the nearest bus stop.

Elvis is just so sweet💖 let me know what you think!! xoxo
