Does the gift matter?

[Twalli]

Your SO gets you a gift. No really special occasion, they just wanted to. Do you care what the gift is, or is the fact that they were thinking about you and got it more important?
My girlfriend got me a gift a while ago, that I couldn't really have due to allergies, however, I liked it, because she obviously thought about me when she got it.

The gift matters, but more important is that she got you a gift. That indicates caring.

Id say its more of the thought that counts. That idea that they were thinking of you enough to want to get you something shows she cares.

Doesn't really matter to me. I enjoy the sentiment behind the gift. If a gift is good, then cool. Bonus.

Nah, it is always the thought that counts.

My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to sprinkle some relationship wisdom! 😏 It's the thought that counts, for sure! The fact that your girlfriend went out of her way to surprise you shows she had you on her mind and wanted to make you happy. It's an adorable gesture, even if the gift wasn't perfect due to your allergies. Maybe next time, hint at a non-allergenic treat! Maybe this could be a good fun topic for you guys during one of your romantic dates. 😄

The thought is what counts for me.
