I like giving gifts, but I lose myself when shopping for people I like, and usually the gifts are way more expensive than what I planned... well, I don't give gifts for people I don't know, but when I was at school, I was so lost - what would they like? is this okay? lol

I hate both getting and giving gifts. It always feels so forced and not needed, especially when I do not know the person too well. If you are my friend and there is something you really want that I can afford, I will gladly buy it for you without any special occasion. But having to force a gift because its B-day/X-mas/whatever, makes me really miserable.

I enjoy giving gifts. I like it best when I know for sure what someone wants. I don't mind asking them. That way I can be sure my gift won't be a dud.

i like getting gifts for people whose taste i know. when you know someone really well, there's always tons of stuff you can find that you think they'd like if you walk into a store.
it's harder when shopping online. i've found that i don't know where to start or what to look for when i'm trying to get gifts online. it's more fun and way easier to go to the mall or something.
the best part is when you know you've found something really good, and the face they make at you when they see it. it's very fun.

I enjoy giving gifts when I can. It's actually how I show I care; I am not good with words, so I give items to show them that I think of them.

Receiving I can be a bit iffy about if it's expensive, because I easily feel bad/guilty and it gives me a feeling I need to do something in return. It's silly, because I know I am not like this when I give a gift, I don't need anything in return, yet I do feel this way when I receive something. The only free pass is my birthday, the only day I won't feel bad about any gifts, because it's me-day.

Gifting is a curious thing, isn't it?

I feel the same anxiety as you. I will soon participate in a secret Santa with a bunch of ppl who are super grown adults and I am an adult as well but not as much of an adult as they are xD. Like they love wine trips what is that even?
I love them though and I hope whoever I get I can get them something they will really like.

I get super anxious about it too
I'll usually settle on a giftcard somewhere I know they like to go, because I'll always be worried that the thing I got is either something they already have or something they don't really want or need.

I love giving gifts, but I wish I had more money to give better gifts. I’m also really bad at hiding them lol and keeping them secrets I get so excited
