DO YOU LEAVE THE PRICE TAG ON GIFTS?

I never leave the tags on, but f i do buy something like clothes or so I will save the receit and tell the person that if it doesnt fit she can have it and change it for something else. I think it would be tacky to leave the tags on... there is no price on friendship so it shouldnt matter what the gift costs =)

I do not and would not leave price tags on gifts. I always make sure that I take the tags off so nobody sees how much I actually spent on the gift. Some people may think you are a cheap skate if they see a low price on the item. Sometimes it is hard to tell if the gift is expensive or not but I would rather keep the price a secret. Sometimes I have forgotten to take the price tag off but it was no big deal. We should be happy with the gifts that we receive, no matter what the cost was of the item.

Some people seem to leave the price tags on purposely as a way to show how much they care about someone(the higher the price,the greater the love?) and need it to reassure themselves that they are appreciated.For many it may have been growing up with little money but not realizing it is not the price of the gift,but the IDEA of the gift that is important. By the way,I always smile when I see a price that is Manufactor-suggested retail as this means absolutely NOTHING as to the actual value of the product.

That is so tacky. I always remove the tags unless it is physically impossible; then I use a black permanent marker to black out the price.

This is so tacky! Your sister in law really didn't have a clue did she? I think it is funny how you sat back and watched her reactions. I always remove price tags. It is just the proper thing to do. You wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings such as at Christmas time and it only requires a very little effort to remove tags.

We definitely take them off, although my fiance often leaves it on! I guess some people just don't think it's a big deal. I just think gifts look nicer without the tag. Plus, there are times you got a discount/good deal, and the price is cheaper than the item. I guess if you were being honest you'd leave it on to show you didn't spend full price, but we never do.

I had a relative who did that too but I think she added something on to the prices as they were All from the local flea market I am sure , I know that seems really ungrateful but the were really horrible gifts , but I was brought up to br polite and I always said thank you anyway , the local charity shop did well though lol xx

If ever a price tag has been left on a gift that I have given it has been by accident and sometimes by the person who may not have taken it off in the shop where I bought it and they have done the wrapping. I make sure there is no price tag on anything but when buying clothes or other items where the price is put on it in a way that you cannot remove it a black texta pen comes in handy but does not look as good though! lol

Your sister in law needs attention I think. I would never ever leave a price tag on a gift. I try to give gifts to people that I think that they would really enjoy. It is the thought, not the price. My sister leaves tags on too. It seems to puff them up for some reason. I don't need the attention to give someone a gift from the heart.

nah! i always remove the price tag.. i don't know but i think its not cool to leave those tags.. hehe.. ^_^

I never leave the price tags on anything. I hate when people do that. My mother is a big one that never takes the tags of our gifts or family gifts.. she takes them off other peoples. She says "oh what's the big deal" But I have a friend that leaves them on so people will be impressed. I think that is so absurd and immature and just not proper etiquette. She says if people think she spent alot on them then they will spend more on her... She's not really a friend..more of an aquaintance..lol I don't need that kind of friend...lol

never....!! thats being cheap!! i never stoop soo low!! also it simply ruins ur impression on ur friend who u gifted the present!! also hw would you feel if some1 gav u a gift with an enormous price tag??!! it would only make u feel guilty wont it??!!

No Never super Tacky! Wowe and when I get a gift with a price tagf I am embarresed and try not o look at it! I don't want to knowwhat someone spent and I want to just enjoy the gift as a gift from the heart! My husband leaves the tags on and it makes me crazy!!! and if he does take it off he will tell me what it costs! Hate it Tacky Tacky Tacky!

Yes, I totally agree with you. Leaving a price tag on a gift is downright tacky. I don't even like to give gift receipts, even though the price is usually not printed on it. But if someone returns the item, they find out what I spent.

no, if its something for a child like clothes, i would leave other tags on and give the mom the reciept so if they do ot fit she can go and get a smaller or bigger size.

I never leave the price tag on gifts. Or I shouldn't say never, if its something I think they might return I do leave the tag on, but just the UPC portion and I rip off the price portion. Otherwise all price tags get ripped off the best I can. I don't want them to know how little or how much I paid something for them.

I agree with you Elusive, I would rather break my nails then leave a price tag on a gift. The point of a gift isn't for the person to know (or think) you spent a certain amount on them, but that you thought enough about them to get them something.

Yes, me too, it is amazing how some people can be so ostentatious, or bigotted. Well, I see she is no longer in your family, that is all for the better. I do not like people to wonder how much I got it for, and usually, I tell them that it is a small gift, not expensive, so they do not feel the need to spend a lot on me, if they ever want to get me something.

I would leave it if the gift reciever likes only costly gifts . Otherwise no way . I have a great activity of my uncle to share with you which is really related to what we are discussing here .Before that I would explain an indian tradition i.e. In india people give cash gifts in envelope to the couple marrying . We generally give it in the denominations like 51 Rs, 101 Rs etc . So what my funny poor uncle does is : he puts 1 rs coin in the envelope and write 501 Rs. in the corner of it . And gifts it to the couple. Then couple think that money have been lost in the transition and offcourse the cant ask my uncle . So this way he makes the impression that he gifted 501 and thus make couple happy . Still he remains happy .

I remove price tags too, unless it is on clothing. Then I leave the barcoded tag on the garment but trim the $$$ amount off the tag with scissors. That way, if the recipient needs to return it without the receipt, they can!
