Do you prefer giving presents or receiving?

Baby France · Nov 14th, 2011, 12:51 PM

As the title says...

I suppose I've always enjoyed giving the presents more than receiving them. I love seeing peoples faces, especially when I know I've got something that is really special for them.

Do you prefer giving presents or receiving them?

I like both but I prefer to give. I LOVE seeing the looks on people's faces and the self satisfaction that I have given them something they really like.

Also, I don't know why but I loathe people watching me open presents, I feel so embarrassed but I have no idea why? Think it might be that I hate that someone may end up spending more £££ on me than I think they should and I don't know how to react

Definatley giving, I think 100x more about what presents I buy other people that what I want for myself. I love giving people things that they never knew they wanted!! x

Obviously I like getting presents but nothing compares to see my little girls face on Xmas morning or getting my mum something she really wants xx

Obviously I love both but there is nothing better than seeing someones face light up when you give them a gift you know they will love x I always get excited on the run up to xmas about giving my gifts out x Last year me & my sister did my mum a huge hamper & I couldnt wait for her to see it x

Giving - definitely

I love surprising people with things I know they'll love. I get a lot of satisfaction from giving carefully thought-out presents. I can't wait to see my Harrison's face on Christmas day. I do like receiving gifts too

but I get embarrassed opening them in front of people and never know what to say other than ''aww that's lovely, thanks!''
