What kinds of gifts do you appreciate receiving in a relationship?

Not gifts like quality time, cooking for you, or anything sex related. I'm talking about physical gifts or a trip to the spa, a vacation, tickets to a sports game, etc.

Mmmm...

• Some flowers and chocolates could never go wrong because I love fragrances and sweets especially chocolates.
• Speaking of fragrances, if he gets me the kind of perfumes/scent I love, I'd be squeal for a bit 😂 It would be nice to think of him everytime I wear that fragrance.
• If I've had a stressful week/month, I'd be thankful to have a spa session as it would be much needed.
• I love travelling, so taking us on a mini vacation where we could spend some quality time while enjoying the view and have adventures would be perfect.
• A wristwatch as I frequently look at my watch often when I'm out and It would be nice to think about him everytime I take a look at the time.
• I like reading novels so if he gets me my favourite authors limited editions book, I'd be so excited and happy.
• Getting me a dress that he saw I liked in a store or getting me a dress he would like to see me in- makes me feel pretty.

So, yes, things like that which either reminds me of him when I utilise that gift or something we could do together or something that has to do with my hobbies like reading.

Thank you for MHO!

Literally anything. I appreciate the intention and effort more than the gift itself.

Something sweet/thoughtful. Even if it’s not fancy, if it shows the person took time to pick it out (and didn’t just fish it out of their sock drawer last min without a thought in their head) then the effort is appreciated.


NOT appreciating pricey gifts that are more for THEM if it’s supposed to be for me. 🤨

I haven't received very many gifts in my relationships. This might sound kinda hokey but I really needed a vacuum and every Saturday I would have to drive to my sister's house and borrow her's and drive home again.
So for my birthday my boyfriend gave me a vacuum cleaner for a gift. I appreciated that more than you know.🙂

Something not too cheap and not too expensive so I don’t feel bad when I don’t return a favor.

I'd prefer gifts in the way of acts of affection more than material gifts.

[HawkPerception]

I get that. Me too. But if you were to receive material gifts, is there anything you'd appreciate?

Flowers.

The gift of attention, all of it 😎
