Will you remove the price label after you buy a gift for someone?

I think alot of people do remove tags, because I don't want them to find out how much value the gift costs!;) There are times that I give gifts that I think are cheap, but with better value. As the means of living now is very hard, we have to look for other options to atleast bring joy to someone's heart!;)

We always remove prices, that is just how people in my area do it. Unless of course you secretly want to brag. On gift registries in different stores you can get a bar code that has no price on it, just the bars, in case the recipient needs to return it for some reason, or exchange it. I find that really handy.

Oh yes, I have been taught by my Mother to remove the price tags, but we do keep receipts so that if a gift is faulty we can return the item and get it repaired or replaced. My friends and family all know that I use ebay etc to buy my gifts and they do not mind as usually they get a better gift than I could have afforded for the money. Although we were not rich when we were children, my Mother make sure to remove all prices so that the poorer relatives were not embarrassed at the cost of our gifts. Today when I receive a gift, a gift is a gift and I do not mind if it cost nothing. My partner gave me a beautiful antique doll which is actually worth a lot of money and his Father was extremely quick and happy to tell me my partner was given the "thing" as the owner was throwing it out! Even if it had been worthless, it is a pretty little thing and I collect this type of doll in any case AND any gift from my partner is always special, so no price tag necessary lol. I hope you continue to remove the tags and keep the mystery about your gifts - and of course keep the receipt!

Hey yl, I always remove the price labels too-I guess b/c it's the thought that counts not the price whether it was an expensive gift or not. +'s |:)

Hello there. I do remove my the price tags before I pass my gift to the intended recipient. I have forgotten to do that before and my friend who received it kept teasing me about it. I felt bad because I had done the same thing to the same person twice. Thank goodness I've never been stingy with gifts so I am not afraid that my friends will think that it's cheap stuff because it's not.

Ya i am agrre with you. if we do not remove price lables, may be worth of our friendship decided by the price of gift. And again gift is gift we should not look at price part. It is only one of the way we can show our love and affection for the people we love.........

Yes, of course. I have never heard about anybody who let the label on the gift... Only the people who do not know the etiquet may leave it on the gift...

Overall, I think it is not necessary or ideal to leave the price tag on a gift because it is not the value of the gift that is important but the gesture that you have remembered someone and proferred a present to them.

I always remove the price label. I am a very determined bargain hunter, and I often buy high quality items at flea markets, yard sale and thrift shops. Many many times the items are brand new, still sealed in the original packing materials. For whatever reason they end up on the 'resale' market is beyond me but I love to take advantage of the fact that they do. It is a family/close friends joke, that when my husband and I give something -----it is taken for granted that we did not pay the original price. Seems as if the gifts are value more because we seek out really nice stuff, suited to the individual.

Hello youless!:-) I remove price labels from the gift items unless it is printed on the original packing of the gift item. I do not do it for the fear of embarrassment as I think a gift is priceless and it's value can't be determined, so even if it is of $1 or even less, the feeling behind is immense and can not be priced. There are different varieties of people. I agree with you that some people may not appreciate less expensive or cheaper gifts. But, there are some people who mind getting expensive gifts, I am one of them. For me, it is the feeling, attachment and love behind the gift that matters. I liked many cheaper gifts much more than I liked the expensive gifts. The most valuable gifts that I have received so far, were free of cost, as they were mere words or actions of some of my most beloved people like my partner, family, friends and colleagues. When my partner or parents smile to me, it is the best gift that I can ever have. When they say that they love me, I feel like I am in heaven. I myself give the gift according to the need of the person. The most expensive gifts that I have given were to some lesser privileged people and the cheapest (in terms of price) gifts have been mostly to the more privileged people. A rich person who already has luxuries of life will most probably not be in need of some expensive item, probably just a good book of wisdom or make their life better would do. A lesser privileged person may be in need of something that he/she can't buy which I would love to gift. So, for me, it's the need of the person that determines which gift I am going to give. I would not like people to see what my gift cost, for the reasons I have already explained. If someone looks for the price of gift and does not appreciate the love and feeling behind the gift, however cheaper it is, he/she may not deserve any of my gift. Price is just meaningless to me and I would never like someone to determine the value of my gift from it's price. Similarly, I do not determine the value of gift given to me, from it's price.

I do remove the price tag when I buy a gift for someone. I will look over the item and the package to make sure I did overlook any price tags. I hate it when somehow I overlook it and it says on the gift. I don't think it matters really to most people how much money you spend, I just think that it's a gift so money should not come into play. Most stores now have gift tickets you can get just incase your afraid the person wont like it that way they can still return it or exchange it if they need to which makes things really nice.

why would i want to leave the price tag, ofcourse i'll remove or else i'll be a laughing stock if you want to give someone a gift all you need is the apreciation and not the person looking at how much it cost so i really think its ridiculous to put the price tag on gifts is it to show the person you can spend much or what? a reasonable person will not appreciate such gifts

I do remove the price tag of the gift I bought before having it gift wrapped. Whether it is cheap or expensive, personally, i don't think it will be a god idea showing people how much your gift cost. Besides, it is the thought that counts. So no need for them to know how much you spend to your gift for them.

i do always remove it. expensive or not! because they might misunderstood it. like when its expensive they might say ur bragging. a gift its a gift! people should appreciate the thought not the price itself and having a tag with it u might be misleading!

Normally I will not remove the price label on the gift for someone, no matter the gift is cheap or expensive. I understand that even though I have removed it, people still would manage to find out the price of the gift from the market. I usually will ask directly or indirectly before hand what the receiver really likes before I present him the gift.

I have always made sure to remove the price tag on any gift. It can be very embarassing to see how much (or how little) someone has spent on a gift, and I feel the thought is more important than the price.

i always remove the price whenever i buy someone a present. i usually give it wrapped so the price will be remove immediately by the giftwrapper

yes i always remove the price tag whenever i bought gift. And it's not nice if i will show how much my gift cost. And also it's not the price that counts it's the thought of the gift that you gave. It's not all about money it's the meaning of the gift you gave how important the person to you.

i would remove them. well, it's pretty norm in my country to remove the price tags. if it's expensive,it's rather showy and if it's cheap,it's rather embarrassing. so to play safe, simply snip it away.

Yes you are right i do remove the price label.When you give a present you do not give because it cost a lot of money but you give because you do care about the person.You know how they say the intention you giving the present i far better than the price.
