You will give many things in this life. Many you will be obliged to give by the conventions of society and if you don't follow those then you will be condemned.
Religions say that the greatest gift is to lay down one's life for another and it's a hard one to argue against but I am talking here about everyday life rather than war or throwing yourself in front of a bullet intended for someone else.
Presents and money you can give freely if you have the cash. Compliments cost nothing but I suspect we don't give them enough: I know I haven't. Advice? Well, I just dish that out even when it isn't wanted: it's just my way and it is well intentioned. Knowledge can be imparted freely if you have it and the recipient is listening.
However, the most precious thing, in my opinion, that you can give to your family and your friends, is your TIME.
