'Tis better to give, or to receive?

Which do you like better, giving or receiving gifts?

For me, I honestly like giving better. Nobody gets me exactly what I want (it's not their fault, I'm just very particular about some things), but I love researching other people and getting things that they truly want or need, and see the reaction on their faces. I'm usually pretty good at that.

Re: 'Tis better to give, or to receive?

Not that I don't love presents, but I'd MUCH rather give than receive. I LOVE finding the perfect gift people and love giving people presents.

I sometimes find opening / receiving presents myself to be awkward. I have NO idea why. Having to open presents at my bridal shower was really weird for me, as was the entire idea that there was a whole party JUST for the purposes of giving me gifts. Maybe I'm weird like that.

I voted both - I do love getting gifts, and I also really enjoy buying for others.

I love giving presents but I also like receiving them in return. For me though, I have 3 beautiful nephews, so it is all about getting them the "perfect" gifts & watching them open them. The smiles & happiness gives me the best feeling I could ask for

I love giving gifts. Nothing makes me happier than to see the smile on someone's face when they open a present.

Re: 'Tis better to give, or to receive?

i chose both because i am really not the best gift giver, but i love to find something i HOPE that person will love. if they do, i feel fantastic about giving!

on the other hand, my mother and friends always give great gifts - sometimes things i didn't even know i wanted! - so i LOVE receiving. Chat Icon
