Why some people live the price on gifts?

I dont know why people do that either. But when im wrapping gifts I make sure there is no tag on there like 3 times. My mom would use to yell out me if I would accidently forget one, so I got into the habbit fast of checking about 3 times for the tags. :)

I have an aunt who does the same thing and I know it's to show us how much she spent on the gift! My mother does it now that she is well on in age but I know it's because she doesn't see very well and doesn't mean to and it's not always on everything. I always make it a point to take off the price tags but I keep them in case anything needs to be returned.

I have former in-laws that left the fake price sticker on the gift they gave. I gave them a disgusted look when I saw it on there. But, it didn't matter. They would revel in the spotlight thinking that people really thought they spend a good deal of money for the gifts they gave. I always remove the sticker. If the price is printed on the package, I peel that part of the package away. It isn't how much you spent, but the thought that counts.

Hi Dear!!For me that is so rude!!I never do it!!Gift have to came from heart for heart!I just ignore that kind of people!!Regards Silvana

Hi i think ive received maybe one time a gift with a price on it,haha.Grrr!I make sure i remove the price because i find it insulting when someone leaves it probably on urpose to shw how much they cared about the person and wated them to see the price of their gift,whip de ding.My grandmother was like that when i was young,always leaving the price on it. Peanutjar:)

SO that you will not get mad violeta just think that they forgot to remove the tag. Don't replace gratitude with anger!!

I know a few people who do this, and I think it's a 'cheesy' practice at best (no matter what their logic is.) A gift is supposed to be something from the heart of the giver...do they honestly think the price makes a difference. I once asked one of my relatives why they did that, and they said it was so the gift could be exchanged easier. (Hey, isn't that what a gift receipt is for????) I seem to note that it seems to be only those who are obsessed with money, and apparent status, who do this. Personally, I check each and every gift before I wrap it, just to make SURE the price sticker isn't on it anywhere.

Some people simply forget to remove it. Some people might do it on purpose while some other don't have any "etiquette". Removing the price of a gift... is one of these little rule in life. Some people never learn them. At the end of the day... most people who receive a gift will put a hard cash value on it... and will sometimes go to the shop to find out what that gift really cost. So really... when you think of it... while it is rude to leave the price on it... it does not make a great deal of difference. There is no rule which says that you have to give her a gift as expensive as the one you receive. Actually I would give her a cheap gift to see how she reacts to it. Because if she expect you to pay her back for her gifts... you are better off without them.

my opinion is also same as yours. i also hate people leaving the price tags on gifts. i havn't came across such situation many times but yes couple of times i also lost my head seeing this. i still remeber on my 15th birthday, i was gifted a watch with price tag stuck on it! one should not gift anything better than this..... you are right, gift matters, not its price!
