I was doing some shopping today so gift giving is on my mind.There are several birthdays coming up next month to buy for.
I, personally, don't place a whole lot of importance on the type of gifts I do or don't receive,the love behind it is what's important to me.I do know of people who are incredibly insulted if a gift is not up to their "expectations".
Has it affected your relationships negatively to the point you were so hurt that the relationship ended? What are your "expectations" when it comes to receiving a gift? I'm sure there have been some humdingers as far as what you've received. Care to share?

iamwhoiamyousee: I personally dislike gifts since to me they mean an obligation
Really?Oh that's kind of sad.
I hope you never feel obligated by anyone to have to return a gift,or to "one up" the gift they gave you? I know some people out there do that,and it's just unfair.Gifts should be from the heart with no expectation of getting one back.
