Do you like gifts?

[Kid Presentable]

Both in the giving and receiving sense? I find myself wanting less and less to buy people gifts that I can't be sure they want. I don't think the thought is truly enough. I also don't really like getting gifts; I prefer to buy myself something. I would like to see the death of gift-giving. Load of shit.

Maybe I've just had too many shit gifts. Wifely McBride, she always hooks up the dope gifts. Sometimes they're sexy gifts lolol but other times just regular cool things. But then from non-spousal sources I've had shirts, and shit CDs and all types of calendars and fucking nougat and shoelaces and a tennis-racket which I used as a guitar. Ethically, you have to think about how you'd feel giving somebody stuff they didn't like/want.

I make it hard for people to buy for me by generally buying everything that I want (Don't read into that as though I'm some spoilt nonce).

But I love it when someone buys me something that at first I think 'hmmmm, this isn't very me' but end up liking it a lot. Like the hoody I'm wearing at the moment.

I like buying gifts for people. I enjoy finding 'just the right thing' for someone.

I love buying them on the most part, and I have been told I am pretty good at it. Though there is one person I am always scared of fucking up and getting the wrong thing...

i like receiving things, sure, who doesn't? but i'm with you on the shit gifts front. it's not that i am ungrateful, it's the fact that if someone has kindly gone through the process of purchasing and giving me a gift for whatever reason, i would like to see their hard work pay off in the form of me, you know, actually using or getting enjoyment from their generous gifting. i feel bad accepting gifts knowing there is no way on earth i would use it.

my mum, for years at christmas, she bought me nail products. manicure sets, mini bottles of technicoloured polish, freakin' toe dividers, you name it. last year i pointed out the fact that i have the most horrible broken-down dried-out boy-hands for a woman and i certainly do not have the desire (or ability) to look after them. my feet are on a whole other level of neglectedness. so what did she do? she gave me a voucher for a PROFESSIONAL! :rolleyes: haha. nice thought, ma, but that will only pay off if i keep on regularly going, and seeing as my average haircut is once every two years, i dinnae think it's gonna happen.

if i want something nowadays i will more than likely work my butt off to get whatever it is. if it's something i cannot achieve on my own, i will ask for money to help me get to this goal. if i don't really desire anything specific i would really just prefer a meal out with my friends and a few drinks on the house, tbh. i value free food and alcohol a LOT. also; sexual favours.

i am a big gift giving person, hence my annual spazzing out over secret santa. i like researching people and products and packaging it all together. one of my favourite things to do is getting a box and filling it with little niknacks and surprises. even if it's just sweets, belly button fluff and kinder egg toys, who cares? everyone likes a nice hefty BOX. no laughing at the back there.

Not spoilt at all. There's nothing wrong with going after what you want. I'm the same.

I get that it's nice to buy nice things for nice people, but when you find something that's just right for a person, and receive something that's just wrong for you, it stinks. I think the truly worst part is you're not supposed to say so, either.

Hey welcome back.

Aside form those things, what kind of gifts do you like? I'm assuming Ironing Boards and Crock-Pots, but carry on anyway.

I didn't wanna come across as captain moneybags or something!

I think I have that 'could get runover by a bus at any minute' mentality, so If I see it and it's within the realms of my bank balance then I'll get it.

Yeah thats true about the 'not being able to say anything' bit. Especially if they get you something that is part of a set or that can be added to. Virtually ensuring you a stream of similarily unwanted gifts.

I used to hate people with money, until I figured out how to use money. It's all good.

[camo]

oh I'm not loaded. I just keep it frugal in some areas.

[Kid Presentable]

My problem is crippling narcissism, preventing me from truly enjoying something I didn't pick for myself.

[Loppfessor]

I love buying people gifts but I don't really like getting them cus I almost never get anything good

[TurdBerglar]

i find the whole gift thing shallow and superficial.

HERE'S SOMETHING I GOT YOU SO YOU LIKE ME MORE!!!!

that's all it really is


i don't mind gifts when it's completely out of the blue and not for some special ocassion. like if someone was shopping and they spotted something you've been blabbing about for ages and they picked it up for you. that's better than someone just getting you something because it's your birthday or christmass or some other holiday. to me they're just giving you that gift by default.

i just feel a gift is just taking the easy way out when you trying to show someone you care about them. people put way too much empasis on gifts.

[Yetra Flam]

I fucking love getting gifts, no matter how shitty they are.
I also like giving someone a gift, if it's really good. I like the satisfied feeling it gives me, to give someone exactly what they want. I mean, i'm pretty frugal and i do freak out about spending a lot of money, that's the only thing.

[Kid Presentable]

what if someone got you something that you couldn't get yourself? like sold out concert tickets or something?

Some part of me would rue the fact that I hadn't just gone and bought them myself. And I don't really like crowds.

[taquitos]

ah hates gettin em, an ah hates givin em

[russhie]

I like them, but I'm pretty particular.

My boyfriend, for whatever reason, detests buying things for me. He knows me better than anyone, therefore gift giving should be easy.

I don't mind giving them, but I'm more horribly selfish than anything else.
