manifest happiness

Happiness. It's a theme I've been struggling with trying to understand for the last few days. I want to understand it so that I can manifest it for a friend for a gift. I asked her, if you could have one thing in the world, what would it be? she said happiness throughout. I don't know if she's happy. I think she is. She always seems happy to me. So if she is, then how do you bring happiness to someone who's already happy? But more importantly how do you materialize an emotion and a desire such as this? To me happiness has always found its way to me through the love and laughter of those closest to me. But I don't experience the happiness I want as often as I'd like and so it becomes difficult for me to accurately pinpoint when the last time I was happy for more than a couple of days. Does a high qualify for the purest feeling of happiness? Maybe... maybe not. How do you describe what it feels like to be happy? Is happiness opening your mouth and turning your head upwards to catch the raindrops on your tongue or is it falling back into powdered snow and waving your arms and legs to make ugly snow angels? Is happiness sharing a drink with friends or falling asleep next to your best friend? Is it meeting everyone every day or just one person from time to time? What puts that smile on our faces and gives us that warm feeling? I don't know, this person has really impressed me in such a genuine way that I'd love to be able to do something nice back. But I'm stuck. I don't want my idea to suck and I can't think of anything really really nice to do. This sucks.
