"The value of a gift is not in its price, but rather in its sentiment."
Why: it's a clear, universal thematic idea you can explore through character choices, conflicts, and resolution. Miriam painting an ocean for her brother illustrates that sentiment — the handmade, thoughtful nature of the gift — without reducing the story to a single prescriptive rule. ("Giving homemade gifts is better…" could be a subplot or moral, but it's narrower and more prescriptive; the plain phrase "gift giving" is too broad.)
