How would you feel if you give a present

It didn't happen to me since I am the one who receives gift and sometimes not often that I forgot to say thank you. The difference for me is that, once I receive any gift I really appreciate and thankful for it because I felt that I am special. It is just that I forgot to say thank you to the one who gave. Awful huh! There people that they don't want to receive any gifts because they don't want to give either.

We do have the same experience. I just can't forget that day. I gave a gift to one of my cousin. Knowing that she loves to collect stickers, I bought her lots of stickers of different kinds. Then on the christmas eve, we opened our gifts togeher,suddenly when I looked at her after opening my gift she maked face.I really thought that she still love stickers that time. So I really learned from tha experience. The next time I give gift, I usually ask that person what she/he would like to recieve just to avoid the same mistake.Happy posting!

I am so sorry this happened to you. I know how hard it is to be in your position, I've been there. I know how sad and disappointed you and you have every right to feel that way. When someone doesn't show appreciation or say Thank you for what we have given from our heart it really hurts. We can't control their actions though. But we can prevent it from happening again...at least with the same person. I personally would not give that person any other present...ever. Just give them a card from here on out, if you feel you should give them something. Again, I am sorry you are hurting and that "they" didn't see how much love you put into your gift.

I know how you feel. My mother in law is the same way. I worked hard on their christmas gifts last year. Money was tight so I tried my best with what we could spend. I made her up a gift basket of good smelling lotions and sprays and stuff like that. She could barely fake her like of it. She has done the same thing to me before too.

It has happened to me before. I gave someone a gift, but she didn't thank me and she didn't seem to appreciate the gift at all. My first reaction was sadness and I felt like it had been a waste of time. When I receive a gift, the gift in itself is not the most important thing, what really matters to me is the fact that someone wanted to give me something and that they spent time picking out a gift for me. When someone doesn't appreciate my gift, I get sad at first, but I try to focus on giving. Giving is a way to express my love for someone, and no one can prevent me from giving, not even people who don't seem to appreciate their gifts. Someone once said to me: "The real gift is not the thing which you have bought, wrapped up and given to a person. No, the real gift is your willingness to give" I agree with those words but I tend to forget them, when I get disappointed and when I feel that someone didn't appreciate my gift.

If it was someone I really cared about and I had put a lot of thought and loved I'd be quite hurt. Giving a present to someone should not be just about the present itself - its about the thought that goes into it and the time and effort that someone puts into getting a gift. If the person you gave a gift to didn't appreciate it, maybe you should ask yourself if they are worth your efforts in the first place?

I ould really feel very bad..it happened to me sometimes and i have felt bad at that time and left over the issue later..i would really have the person to atleast pop out a smile from their face after seeing my gift and would not like them to just say a thanks from their lips..happy mylotting..

It doesn't feel good, of course. I remember the gift I gave my sister-in-law and she asked where I got it. Turns out she wanted to know so that she could return it. A gift isn't always going to hit the right spot with somebody but it's rude for them not to at least say thank you.

I think how i would feel would really depend on how the person would react after receiving the present that i gave. It would really make me feel sad if they would really not appreciate it. If someone would give me a gift i would really appreciate it regardless of what it is because the act of giving is already a sign that someone cares for you and wants to make you happy. Basivally, knowing that someone cares for me would already make me happy and the effort of giving would aready make me happy. With that expression i guess it would make you feel like not giving again. I think people should at least appreciate even the effort spent and that act of giving that what the present really is.

I do not remember that it happened to me. Well, if ever I come across that situation, I will feel sad at first but later would feel good because even though my gift was not appreciated, giving a present to someone will make me feel better.

I cant remember if this already happened to me. If this would happen, I would surely feel bad about it. I know that we can t please everybody. If you give a present, please make sure that you dont ask the person to open it in front of you. It is unethical for you to ask him/her to open the present. You wouldnt want to see the reaction of the person if he/she didnt like it.

That has never happened to me thank goodness.All of us are so pleased to get a present show apprecation for it as money is short and to think someone has thought about you and gone out and got you something.I would say that was not very nice of them and it would make me think twice before I spent any more money on them,Could it be that they were so touched they did not know what to say?

I will feel a bit sad and i wonder why the reason give the present to them.Usually we give present to people we love and care.

hiii the gift is given to beloved ones so if v gave gift v should not expect thanks from them...but if they dont like the gift or the person who given the gift,then its waste to present to such a person and i think u many feel bad but they should nr ashamed by doing such type of things and they will know in the future wat they have done mistake..

Well i will feel bad and thinking why did i even give a gift to her/him in the first place laugh out loud

i would feel very dissappointed ,if my gift is not appreciated.i would think twice before giving another present.

i would feel like i have done something good for someone else. which i would have.
