2.She is on friendly terms with her colleagues.

We are often disappointed if the size is small, I mean, the size of the gift, mobile, room or edible items given to us.  But we don’t know that “the good things /best things come in small packages.”

2.I know his love, so the size of the mobile he gifted me doesn’t matter. The good things come in small packages, don't they?
