Most of the time I receive things that I don't find useful or particularly like. So with this consideration, I prefer giving gifts better because it makes me happy to see smiley face and it makes me glad when they actually use the stuff and like them. The happiness is not something I could describe.

They tend to say I have almost everything and they couldn't think of something to give! Well, I don't have everything but I don't think I want particular something all the time and that's why that gives them headache!

I am not that materialistic, I prefer to give than receive. I don't expect anything for my friends or family, but I am thankful to whatever they would also give to me. I don't care of how it costs, as long as they are sincere.
Also, I do my best to return some of the favors they've done to me by giving gifts. People should always be grateful of what they receive, because one'll never when's the time that they will LOSE EVERYTHING..

Can I say both? I give gifts and also would want to receive em. But most of the time, I give gifts to my friends and my family.. Not just gifts or presents , not material things .. but also do them some favors or do something nice. I wouldn't expect them to do me the same thing as giving gifts or doing favors.. but if ever they will, then it will definitely be great. :)

I enjoy both as long as I give sincerely and as long as they give sincerely. It's the thought that counts, not what I give or what they give. :-D I think right now I like them both 50-50 he he he he he...
My blogger friend once said that people also should learn to receive gifts or compliments well, 'coz not everybody can do that well, so I'm heeding her advice, too. ;-D

I love both because the feeling is different. When I receive a nice gift, I would feel very excited about it and would guess what it is and say thanks to the person who gave it to me. If I give a nice gift to someone, I am making him happy as well and I think that he will have the same feeling as I do. I love to receive as well as to give a nice gift.
