Exchanging gifts with your bf/gf/so

[Typhlosion]

Hey!

I was just wondering, did you guys give a gift to your bf/gf/so* for the holidays? Did they give one to you? And, of course, did you two like the gifts?

Haha, I was totally clueless, and she was too. I ended up giving her a set of cute earrings to Yas, and she got me... nothing *shrugs*. I guess she had no idea, but she did say to a colleague of hers that she didn't need to give anything to me because I am an atheist. Pity I couldn't see her reaction to opening the gift because she's spending the holidays with her family... oh well!

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

*so: significant other

Hmm. That's a predicament. I have to ask - did you "want" a gift? That sounds cynical but I see Atheist.
As far as gifts, yes. I've had three different girlfriends each of the last three Christmases, and I've given them each something. It's just a spontaneous thing of sorts - it shows that you're interested in them and that you consider them close enough to spend money on. But on the flip side, you can't always expect a good ROI (return on investment). I got my current GF an iPod Nano and she got me a couple of new shirts.
If you're in it just for what she gives, you're wrong though. Even though one of the shirts she got me is so tacky that I'll only ever wear it in private with her, I love it more than anything else I got because it was a sincere thing from her heart that has a lot of meaning in our relationship.
Long story short yes. I do.

We decided to give each other some gifts and we did :) And, of course, we both liked the christmas present :D

Merry christmas!

Depends how long you've been seeing eachother as well, IMO. This girl and I wre in the pre-dating phase (if that even makes sense), but we started that like two weeks ago, so neither of us saw any real reason to spend money on eachother.

Because our anniversary and Christmas fall right beside each other we just get one present. This year I booked a few days in Vienna, which she's always wanted to see, and a reissue of a childhood book that inspired that for her. She got me a bunch of things: an instant camera; a number of books I wanted; sentimentaly-things that relate to stuff from the last twelve months. It's not what's given that matters though: I liked my gifts not because I have a weird taste in nonfiction but because it's clear she put a lot of thought into what she was getting me.

For our first Christmas though neither of us got anything for the other. Looking back odds were we would have ended up getting something real meaningless. I wouldn't worry anyways about not both exchanging presents this time round.

I didn't have a bf this year....
But in the past I have given my bf things like clothes, calogne, cd's, a framed picture of us...

My BF and I exchanged gifts. I gave him a bottle of polo and a card along with a picture of me he liked. He gave me a gift card to Victoria's Secret along with some VS body wash and gels. Yes, I think we both liked our gifts.
