I certainly like the feeling while giving but I also like receiving.

Actually giving does. I don't know why...but I don't like taking from people unless it is something that I can pay in kind. It's probably false pride or something like that.
But that's what I am...a giver....of mostly my time, effort and energy.

I love to receive gifts from people I love because it makes me feel special that they were thinking of me ,but I love giving even more because the feeling that you feel inside is so wonderful.

hello bala. I've always been a giver. Sometimes my husband tells me that I'm doing too much for others already. But I just tell him again and again, that I know what I'm doing. I know when I'm doing it too much.
It feels so good to see that I can make others happy with I can do for them. Sometimes, I feel an inch taller.lol! But seriously, I believe that what whatever we do for others, will reflect on who we really are. Well, it's nice to receive something too but my whole life, I was always at the giving end. It's nice to think that I've made others happy. Nice knowing that I can do an unselfish thing to do.

Giving makes me happier than when I receive, especially to some one you love.

While satisfied giving makes happy. If under stress taking makes myself happy.

Definitely giving!
I love to see the way a persons eyes light up when you give them something.
With Christmas right around the corner I will get to see those looks very soon :)
I especially can't wait to see the look on my daughters face when she sees the tree, opens presents, etc.
