Gifts..how..when..where..why..how many...$$?

I have said time and time again , If someone gives me a gift even if it were a tube of sweets I would love the thought that they had taken time to think of me and choose it , the thought is the most important thing in my mind xx

Now i am the opposite, i dont really like being showered by gifts. I am more the giver then the receiver. I like giving things. i guess i am the type who likes to see the smile on others peoples faces.

I like getting gifts every now and then especially when it's not some special occasion or something. It's nice but I hate when I'm given gifts that I know I won't use and I feel like the people that gave them to me should know that they're not something I'd ever use.

I'd highly appreciate it if I was given gifts.But I wouldn't care how,when,where,why,or how much it is as long as it came from the heart.Besides,it's the thought that counts.

I happen to be one of those who enjoys getting gifts. It need not be expensive gifts though. It is the thought that matters to me. The value of the gifts is secondary unless I have absolutely no idea how best I can make use of the gift. I do not give away any gift received.

Hi raydene! Of course, I love receiving gifts! haha..But I appreciate it if I could feel the sincerity of the giver. I really don't mind if it is expensive or not as long as I know it was given to me to make me feel that I am special to them and not because people would look up to them. Take Care and God Bless! Celebrate Life!

I never hate it when anyone gives me a gift. Regardless of what it cost and I think that the idea they thought enough of me to buy me something expensive, which they may have liked even although you didn't, makes me appreciate it because they did think of me. I am glad when someone feels like a million because of me.

No nOt at all. actually i am an unlucky person. i have got very less gifts from childhood till now. so i never expect something from someones. but still If someone give some gifts, its always that i will be happy.

No, actually I am on the thought not on the gift on how they are expensive or anything. I like to received gifts and to give gifts, but i made it very personal so as the person i will be giving the gift felt my love for them.I also don't like people that are always complaining about their gift received and like they know the amount, its to lame.

I think everyone loves to receive gifts but I certainly never expect any and certainly nothing expensive! As you say it is little things that someone has taken time to think of that matters! For instance your brother in law is always passing along books to me and that is so fantastic I appreciate that more than someone going spending a lot of money on me! xxx

Well, I wouldn't MIND being showered with expensive gifts...LOL. But I love gifts that really, truly come from the heart of a person, and they took the time to get something that they knew I would love..doesn't have to be expensive, just some little cute do-dah..even if it came from the dollar store. The one thing that used to tick me off though...I used to have a friend who would give me a gift, but was a "hand-me down"--you know the kind I mean...a gift that was given to them, but they obviously didn't want, so gave it too me...sorry, but I used to think that was downright tacky...I'd never think of doing that myself and always went out of my way to give her something really nice and thought out on my part, not a hand me down

I do not give expensive gifts - can't afford it! I don't expect people to give me expensive gifts either. I don't like feeling like I'm obligated to give them something more expensive than I can afford because they bought something expensive.

No I dont have to showered with gifts if I get one nice if not I dont mind I would rather have some flowers, My daughter buys me expensive gifts and I would rather she spent the money on herself or the grandchildern.

Wow, that's really tough! I think people should also consider giving a gift because they want to and that because they want to tell their recipients that it is for them and that they have shown compassion on them, giving time and effort to make or buy a gift that is especially for them.. Though I want to receive gifts, I want more to be given a gift because of a reason, and that would be more meaningful to me. I hate show-offs!

I am not one of those people who likes to be showered with gifts. I would rather be showered with acknowledgement or respect the most. I never get that though. I am very deprived in that department. It does not mattewr how much I give to others, they still look at me like I do not even exist. I would rather that someone not buy me something than to buy me something I don't want or need. I don't mean to sound rude or selfish but that is all I ever get most of the time from others. I appreciate the thought but if they really cared or thought about me, they would have got me something to enjoy.

I dont like to receive gifts if a person thinks they have to give one. I would rather have something I will use than just any gift.
