I love to give gifts, especially if person to home I am going to give it didn’t know anything about it. I usually trying to find out what the person wont or what he or she need before buying something. This way I know for sure that my gift will be in a good use, and they would not return it back in store. Some time I am doing hand made gifts. Those gifts are more like souvenirs. So everybody love to get some gifts, no meter when or what your getting. For me the most important part is having the pleasant experience of special attention from the person that I am getting present from .This special moment is making my day ,so I often forget that on top of that I have present waiting on me to be open .I know that every one is choosing the presents differently, some choose something that’s on their budget , others what they think will feet your needs , and most of us simply just don’t know that to get ,so we ending up buying things that soon will be returned back in store. So in case you got the present that you don’t wish for, don’t make a big of a deal from it, just return it or exchange it to something else. It is not a good idea to keep it and to give it away to someone else in the future, especially if it out of style!!!!

I like to give any gifts. In my native country we say:” We don’t look at the granted horse teeth”. So we need to accept all gifts. But it is really true that we especially like some of gifts. I like very much when someone remember my birthday date and give some positive attention to me. Usually gifts don’t have first significance for me. I would not like to re-gift something, but I remember as my wife and I got many gifts on our wedding. We really didn’t need them so much. So, after a while we gave some of them another match when we were invited on their wedding. I like when we give and get money on our celebration. This is practically and convenient because everyone can buy what he wants. My teacher told me a story about keeping of our gifts. She keeps her gifts in her garage. When the guest who gave her some of those keeping gifts is going to come, she put his gift in some visible place. So she shows that she respects that person very much and appreciates his attention and gifts. I think we should remember our relatives birthday and to be ready for that. Women especially like gifts. We- men like when our wife’s are happy. So we should give gifts them very often that them would be happy and love us. At first, these are supposed to be flowers. This is a good tradition. This is not expensive, but this is pleasant for booth- the man and the women.

All people like to give and receive gifts. There are many occasions to give gifts: birthday, wedding, anniversary, Christmas, etc. I like to give different kinds of gifts. It all depends on the person. When I choose a gift for a woman, most likely I’ll buy perfume or makeup. For men, I usually buy a nice tobacco pipe, a shaving set, or an expensive bottle of scotch. When I go to a kid’s birthday party, I’ll buy an interesting electronic game, or sports equipment. Besides, there is a universal gift for any sex or age. This gift is a good book. Sometimes, if I don’t have enough time, I give money or a gift card, instead of a gift.

Gifts are beautiful things. I like to give gifts and to receive them also. In Ukraine we have a good saying: "It's not the gift that's valuable it's the respect that's valuable." It's similar to: "It's the thought that counts." The most valuable gift for me is flowers. I really love to receive them, and also to give them. I have lots of friends and family. We get together very often to celebrate birthdays, weddings, baby showers, etc. For adults, I like to give flowers and money in an envelope. For children, I give toys or clothes. Many of my relatives and friends live in Ukraine. When I call them to greet them with some kind of celebration, I often say, "Everything that grows, I gift to you." Sacramento has nice weather. There's no real winter here, all year we see flowers everywhere. This is why I can give them all the time. I enjoy looking at them everyday. I give flowers and wish happiness and health.

Giving and receiving gifts is one of the ancient customs that have been preserved throughout time and now, in the age of modern technology, has reached its climax. People learn and develop through out entire lives .I think this modern world it is very essential to be familiar with computer technology, so if I had a chance to give a person a gift it would be a computer. I think that computer plays an important role in our lives, and they bring many benefits to our society. When we get married, my family brought us a lot of gifts. Many of them were iron, blanket and bowls of them,I kept some of them ,and donate the rest .I really like to give my family and friends the gift which they need .The last gift that I got was around two weeks ago, and it was from my sister .She brought me toaster for Persian new year and I really liked it. I liked all of my gifts because I received with love, but I got the best gift about seven years ago .My son worked at sixth floor and fall down. He passed out for forty days. After that doctor and my family told me he can’t walk or he will be dying, but I didn’t heart any thing and I prayed again and again. God give me the best gift. My son gets better after 2 months .I received this gift for three times. Thanks God

I like gifts just like every one else. For me it's not important whether the gift is big or small. It's more important than the gift comes from the hart. I like when my husband gifts flowers for me. He do it often, just for make me happy. On March 8th in Russia a big holiday for woman. The name of the holiday is Mother's Day. My husband gave me a oyster and asked me to open it. It's was not easy to open. When I did it, I seen a real pearl. I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it very much. I like to receive gifts just as much as I like to give. I believe the quality of the gift is better than quantity. I would like to give the same type of oyster to my mum. I think she will be surprised and delighted just as much as I was.

It is easier to buy gifts for children: they have so many desires that we seldom have problems to choose something that will please to them.

I love to give and receive gifts. But more, though it seems strange, I like to give gifts. I love seeing the joy on the faces of loved ones, when I give them a gift. I always try, as my gifts, exceed expectations. Usually I inquire what they want, everyone. I never gave a gift only as a liability.

In my life I like to give perfume for ladies and watches for men. Usually I give gifts for my relatives and my friends. I like to give a satisfaction for people. Sometimes I re-gift something if I get it very much. For example, I re-gifted some dishes because I got it so much on my wedding. I like all gifts that I usually get. I can’t offend those of my friends who gave me those presents. So, I keep them in my garage. When I know that they have to come, I put their gifts them to see. I never forget as I get very beautiful pictures on my forty years. It hangs on my wall in my bedroom. See is painted on it, where I never been yet. I would give different gifts to my relatives. I would give some cute and modern suit to my husband and bicycle to my son. He has not any bicycle yet. I would give very beautiful ring. My brother wants cell phone very much. I already looked one. My mother is elderly woman and she is retired. She spends a lot of time to watch her old TV. So, I would give her some new with flat screen. I wish get flowers and some perfume very often in my life. I think I would hint about it to my husband.

I love gifts, but more than that I love the care/love I get with those gifts. It doesn't matter if it’s a card only but as long as it is handmade, because it shows the care and affection! I like to give gifts to my friends and family members.

I like to give very big gifts. I like when people are impressed my gifts. For example, I like to give sofa, TV set, sell phone, and expensive watch. But in our time I don't have enough money for that, I can't to realize all my dreams. I don't like to re-gift because I want to have some memory about people who gave me gifts. If I don't like some gift I usually keep it because some of people paid attention to me. I am going to give a leather sofa to my wife. My son is waiting for a big toy from me. It can be a big children car or bicycle. I would like to give a play recorder to my old brother. My mother doesn't have a good handbag. I would like her to have some cute. I would like to get a Switzerland watch for some of my birthday. May be my wife would do this present to me, who knows where. A big palm was my last gift. I like all of my gift, but sometimes I don't need some of them. So, I don't want to get rid of them and keep them in the special place.

It depends the person Im giving it to, if its somebody I know I try to give him or her something they need and don't have, for example I was invited to an aniversry I figured out they needed a stool to reach shelves so I got it for him. My other friend had a birthday and he needed a paperknife for him to open envelopes, so I got something he needed.If its a birthday, I get them personal items, like a lotion, perfume, wallet, clothes, jelewey,and...The last thing I would give them is a gift card or money for they could buy there thing that they would like for I would have to pick it out for them. For my kid, I would give them same they would like to use or something play full. For my wife somtimes i give her money or personal items like clothes ,jelery,and perfume.For christmas, I help my kids gather a list for I can give to santa and we give santa cookies and milk buy santa bring it to the tree. My parents and family are in my country it is easy to get because I sent money all the time; and these are the things i give out.

I wild like to know what does the person like and what kind of gifts does he want, like some people like to have an expansive gifts and other wild like to have gold or gift cards and other wild be very happy if I get them a flower. I will never re-gift some think that somebody gave it to me because the gift it’s for me and I will never give some think that I got it from somebody else, if I didn’t like my gift I will never get rid of it because its mean some think for me. My last gifts were watch, clothes, gifts cards, ring, and nickels. I will give my mother on her birthday a flower because I never so the happy look on her face like when I bring to her the flower she will be very happy when I get it for her, and my sister she wild like a ring or Nicklaus or presets or earring she will love that too, and my brother he will like a video game. I liked my last gifts all of them. I got some gifts that I didn’t like but I didn’t say any think because the gifts for me it don’t mean what is it but it means how much that person care about you.

I like receiving and giving gifts. The kind of gifts that I like to give are usually simple because I do not have a lot of time to pick them out. I think the best gift is always money. I have never re-gifted something. But I think if someone does do that, it is not bad and it is ok. My last gift was a cologne from my wife. The kind of gift that I will give my wife for her birthday will be jewelry or something else. For future kids the gifts I will be giving them will be toys and taking them out to fun places. For parents, I think money is the best gift for them unless I know that they particularly want something. Also I think flowers is a good choice for mothers. I don’t have a particular gift that I want to get, I think all gifts are good. I like my last gift a lot because it was from my wife and she always knows what to give me. I don’t remember ever receiving a gift I didn’t like.

I like to give gifts, especially when its my family's birthday. It is always a habit to ask my daughters when it's their birthday and ask them what they need the most. So I know I'm going to give them something they like and then I buy something else that they will like a lot, for example perfumes, purses etc. For Christmas they give me a list, and I buy somethings on the list and give them something else besides that is not on the list to be a surprise to them. Mostly I buy them clothes, shoes, gift cards or just give them money, or they need something like a cell phone.

There is saying:Give the gift to somebody that you would like for you.I like to.When i look for gift for my friend or relative,firstable i think what she or he needs and i never ask somebody what he or she would like i am give for present.Because the give supposed to be unexpected.I do select the gifts and ask myself would be my friend happy has it or not.There is not a specific gift i like to give,because it depends on the person who will receive it and some other factors such us the age gender.I like to give jewellery or parfums for women and for men some electronics things.But purfums i give just for that person who i know very well and know what kind a purfum she or he likes.I am also love to receive purfum or jewellery for present.And especially i love the flowers very much!I love any kinds flowers and my friends and relatives know about and always give them to me for present.And it is not important what much the gift cost and what kind the gift you are receiving,but very important that people giving it to you with their hearth.And i never regiving gifts and keep it always.When my daughter was smaller she always gave me the handmade gifts and i steel keep its.And sometimes i look it remains to me that times when she gave its to me.I really appreciated what my friend or relatives gave me,and i don't to lost it or give to other people.

People like to give and receive gifts. They are buying it because giving a gift is a proper way to congradulate someone. I am not exception. I like to give gift friends or relative more then receive. I never re-gift something. Most of the time I got a gift such I didn't like. People give something because they don't care do you need it or not. Usually I try to find something that is possible you need it. Even if it's a very small gift. When my son was a boy, in his birthday I bought a toy truck car for him, but I still remember his face and eyes. He was so happy, and he spent a lot of time to build this car.

Yes I like to give gifts but that depends for example if the person deserve something I am happy giving the gift or in some importants dates like birtdays,anniversaries,just married,etc.However like many people says you've got give to recive,and I think is true and is not just about gifts is about almost everything when somebody needs a help you must give a hand and everything is reciprocative.I exchanges my gifts that I got twice for another thinks that I needed it,I don't like to keep things that I am not going to need them so I prefer give them to somebody else, I don't give things just without thinking I analyze for whom is going to be the gift and look for something original,for my family is kinf of different because every member of my family is really important to me and I have to find the perfect gift for every member.

I like to give different kinds of gifts. They can be perfumes, kitchen supplies, bath supplies, clothes or toys. Sometimes the gift can be as little as a nice frame or a souvenir. For my husband I like to buy new clothes of cologne. For my mom I like to give her something for the kitchen, clothes or other useful things around the house. For my dad I like to give him tools, or clothes. For my friends I like to give frames, candy or flowers. For children I like to buy toys or books that are appropriate for their age. For special birthdays like 20 years, 30 or 50 I like to buy something special so the person can remember that day. I like to buy unusual things at the store called “Things Remembered.” I like to give flowers for my mom, grandma, sister in law and friends for their birthdays and mother’s day. The reason I like to give flowers is because I really like when I get them. My husband buys me flowers for any reason. Last week my husband bought me flowers, they were calla lily flowers. They were purple. I have never seen those flowers that color; usually they are white, pink or yellow. Flowers are my favorite gift. I like all gifts that I get.

Giving gift is very tasteful. I like to accept a gift, but sometimes I like to give a gift. When giving a gift, I prefer to buy a flower plant from Trader Joes. They have one of the fanciest flowers in the town. A flower shows my exact feelings. About ten years ago I used to think that jewelry is the best gift. Jewelry is worthy and beautiful but right now I like to give flower as a gift.

I like to give presents very much,it makes me feel happy.Presents could be various,it depends on whom i am giving to and it depends on occassion,If i got something as a present i have never re-gifted it.It will hurt feelings of a person who gave this present to me.If you do not like a present you can always exchange it or even return it.No matter what kinds of presents i have got,it more important for me attention from that person.For my close relatives mostly i choose what they need at that time.Some of gifts i keep for many years,but some of them not for a long time.Sometimes people give gifts,just to give an attention,and it is good.However,we can often see that people give thinks as presents they do not need,i never do this.I always like to pleasant people,because it makes me feel happy.I really like last gift,because that gift i got from my lovely husband,he always makes me happy,when he gives me gifts.I never ever did not get a present which i did not like.Every time when i got present i am trying to be very thankfull.

There are many kinds of gifts to give to somebody. First it depends of the holyday then of the person and his interest then of the cost of the gift. In my life the most common gift I have ever given was flowers. I can give this gift for many occasions, just simple day or holyday and it brings to the person I give a lot of happiness joy and I’m happy too because i made somebody happy. I never re-gifted gifts. I don’t receive very often gifts so mostly of the time I like and use them. My last gift was cologne for Christmas. To my children I usually buy toys to sister, mother, and wife flowers. To my men’s friend I might give some funny gifts such as a box of beer, or a nice lither, or a T-shirt. The best gift for me from my friends is to not forget about me on my birthday. This is the best I expect on my birthday.

There is not a specific gift I like to give, because it depends on the person who will receive it or some other factors such us the age, gender, trends and so on. Depending on how much I want to spend, I could consider buying some nice body care stuff, such as body wash/moisturizer, body sprays or perfume. Also I can give gifts such as earrings, necklace or bracelets. I think the best gift is gift vouchers are always a great idea, as this allows the person to choose something of their liking such as clothing store or jewelry store.

Usually I like to give the gifts with some meaning or at least they would be useful. It is always hard for me to choose the present. I get gifts. Sometimes they are useless but mostly they are useful. My last present was toilet water. My friend gave for my birthday. I liked it because it has really good smell. One time I got a present which I did not like. It was t-shirt. There were some pictures that I did not like. So never wore it. I gave it to the Goodwill store. So I always think before I buy gifts for someone
