I do like gifts. From time to time, I get gifts from relatives and friends back from vacation. I also get gifts on birthday and holidays. They make me happy not only materially, but mostly spiritually, because I take it as how I am accepted by people around. For whatever reason, at my age I still care a lot about how people think of me, which might not be good, though. On my side, I also spend a lot on picking up suitable gifts to others. This is an opportunity to show my awareness of and thankfulness to their love, care and help to me. I like the holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. However difficult, be cheerful and do something for your family, friends, and yourself.

Yes, I like gifts, but it doesn't have to be a big or expensive gift. My favorite gifts are those that someone has put some thought behind. I do a lot of packing and shipping so one year for Christmas a friend bought me several pairs of scissors, a lot of tape and some sturdy boxes. Actually, because they were things I could use, although not expensive, those were my favorite gifts that year. Another time another friend went by a cafe where I love their pie, especially apple, and bought me a whole apple pie for my birthday. Those are the types of gifts I really like, those with a lot of thought about my interest behind them. I also like giving gifts a great deal and try to do the same for others, put myself in their place and see if I can come up with something that is especially nice for them, usually not expensive since most of my friends and myself don't have lots of money but it's always fun and we're all usually successful in getting gifts that each other needs. Same with a few of my sisters, so I like getting their gifts but I find it a lot of fun to give gifts as well.

I do enjoy gifts. I especially enjoy giving them. It's another way of telling people that I love that I care about them and am thinking of them. When I see their happy faces, after opening their gifts, makes me happy. That look that they have gives me one of the greatest feelings. Not only am I giving them a gift, but their reactions is their giving me a gift at the same time. It's the part I enjoy the most.

I like gifts a lot and giving them too. both receiving and giving gifts is a happy way to enhance any kind of relationship according to me. I love giving nice gifts according to the choice and mentalities of my friends and relatives and likewise wish to receive the same from others. being a gal i love receiving wallets or watches as gifts or a small ring and i do exchange the same with my near and dear people. though am not a christian but do want to celebrate this christmas by giving gifts to small children or poor people this time.

I enjoy getting gifts, but in all honesty, it doesn't bother me if I do not recieve any. To me, someone simply telling me Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas is enough. As far as giving gifts goes, I thoroughlt enjot that. I spend hours upon hours shopping for that perfect and special gift. This year, I made 13 fleece blankets for my family members for Christmas. I hope that each time they use them, they will think of me.

According to what you have said, the real thing you enjoy is the feeling of receiving gifts, not gifts themselve. Just as what you have said, everyone likes gifts because he or she wants to be remembered by others no matter in any place and in any time. Everyone do the same thing to you just as you do to them. If you want to be remembered by others, the first thing is to love them, help them. I am totally with U when U say we should pick up gifts to our friends on various festivals. The further things we can do are that we should also ften connect with our friends. That is more better than just picking up gifts on festivals.

I like gifts too. It lets me know I'm being appreciated and thought of. I don't get gifts often, just on Christmas and my birthday, but it still means a lot to me to receive a gift. I try to buy everyone in my family gifts for their birthday and Christmas and I'm usually successful. I like seeing the looks on their faces because they're grateful for what I bought them. I can't wait to see what they think about what I bought them this Christmas Happy myLotting :)

I think most of us like gifts. When I got some gifts from my friends or relatives I felt happy, because that means they like or they couldn't spend money and bought the gifts for me. In this year, I got my job, the first birthday I celebrated with my colleagues, when I got the gifts from them I felt exacting! To exchange some gifts with friends I think it is a happy thing in our life.
