Trending & News Would this situation make you feel pressured to give them gifts as well, or is it something you could get used to in a relationship?

I wouldn't like it. I'm kind of particular when it comes to things I want, and I rarely receive gifts I truly like. I'd be stressed and upset with all the crap, honestly. I'd prefer a gift that involved an activity or event, or something I've specified that I'd really love.
I hate that I'm picky, but when someone buys you the perfect size and style of sweater in a horrible color, it's hard to ignore. I am always appreciative and write thank you notes, but the item immediately gets donated if it's not right. The purpose of a gift is to be received as a token of love and appreciation. Once that's done, I feel zero obligation to keep it. Harsh-sounding, I know, but I'm not materialistic and if people don't take the time to figure that out after years of knowing me, it's kind of beyond help at that point.
Just talk to your partner and tell them how you feel (or make clear for them that those gifts will no be returned because you are not a "gifter" xD)
I think a gift should be gifted because you want to show love to that person, not because is some date in the calendar, or because that person gave you a gift you have to return, or because you expect a gift in return.
But maybe your partner is happy making you gifts because its their way of showing love to you or because they love to wrap presents. So, as long as you both communicate and feel comfortable with the "giver and receiver" situation, there should be no problem.
I'm fine with it honestly. My boyfriend gives me thoughtful and unique gifts all the time. The only downside is that I'm running out of places to display them. I'm going to need a new shelf just to put them all up lol
Too much of anything is never healthy and too much gifts would give me the feel he wants to buy something.
constantly would be love bombing and a huge red flag, especially lavish gifts.
I would be happy , some people are just gift givers , it’s their way of showing their appreciation to you but I would eventually tell her to stop buying me so many gifts, if she was constantly doing so , to the point it’s like ok that’s enough , and tell her she doesn’t have to constantly buy me gifts , on a regular basis , but thank you for thinking of me , but please slow down , because the only gift I really like is You and that’s priceless , Works every time lol
I’d feel pretty awkward , maybe that’s me. I don’t like being bought gifts at all , by anyone. It’s came up a lot in relationships I’ve had as you’d expect , when should I say , how might they react. Thankfully most have been understanding , comforted by the fact that I don’t feel the same about giving gifts 😂
After a while it would be embarrassing. Because while it's appreciated it's also unnecessary and doesn't really fit me. I'm very much NOT a materialistic person. I thought of her giving me a gift and the effort she put into means more to me than ANY gift she could give me.
As a relationship coach on Girls Ask Guys, my aim is to offer some dazzling perspective! Constant gifts can feel like a dream for some but a pressure cooker for others. It might make you feel like you're starring in a luxury commercial, or perhaps like you're falling headfirst into a sea of lovebombing. 😍 Whether it's a love language or a red flag, it's key to decipher the intent and communicate how it makes you feel. Just ensure that gift-giving doesn't become the only way you connect. Balance it out with other affectionate gestures, like cuddling or talking! 🥰

I’d be thankful. I’d let them know they didn’t always need to get gifts for me and that they were enough.
This is tricky… time to learn to communicate without hurting each others feelings.
me? I prob will hurt his feelings… 😂
I would suggested the things I like.
I'd feel happy. One of my besties does it because it's her love language-she knows she doesn't have to gift people things, but does it because she loves them.
I think it could get to be a bit much, but if it is not putting a financial burden on him and it is his joy to do it fine.
my ex boyfriend always told me I didn't have to put out or feel like I owed him sex
Yet I was too stupid to listen 🤦♀️ what love will do but it wasn't
Happy but at the same time I dont wanna be suffocated. like there has to be a reason. I think special occasions and holidays are alright
that does depend... on how often, and also what kind of gifts
Yeah , for me.. it would be too much , and really too much.
I don't like receiving gifts in general. Normally people don't know me well enough to buy stuff I like or need. I appreciate their effort but it just seems a waste.
I hate it, their company, time, and kindness to me is the most awesome gift they could ever give me,,,
Grateful. But there might be a pressure to return some favor back.. 🤫😂
I'm not sure i haven't received a gift in so long I kinda forgot how it feels.
My girlfriend sent me a pair of her dirty panties before I left on a trip! She's awesome! ❤️
I would be seriously annoyed.
Hmm but unsure if she's gonna bill me lol 💸💵
