Rehab Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Haha, this is a particularly relevant question for me because I couldn't think of anything when my dad asked me to tell my relatives what I wanted for Christmas, so he said "you're probably getting money, then" Which I'm cool with, personally. Unwrapping things admittedly activates a pleasure groove deep in my brain, but the only things I could think to ask for didn't seem appropriate. (a smartphone? ehhh bit too expensive probably, and somehow feels like something I should get a job for. some kinda lessons or a gym membership? so money, basically. maybe a desk, like a standing thing for computers or one of those art desks? wait you dumbass you're going there on a plane. maybe music? let's see, what have I been wanting to pick u-oops time's up.) My family has a thing with gifts where they've always been way generous with presents (and could afford to be), which led to some awkward situations when I ended up getting somebody some kind of gift that actually made them uncomfortable. Like, their "whoa, you don't have to go that far" threshold was different from mine. Made kind of a doofus out of myself to some friends,* so now I get kinda worried that I'll come off like "who's this asshole" when I buy a steam gift or something *(of course not all of them had the same reaction, which my doofus teenage self got even more confused by) Edited December 24, 2014 by Rehab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specta Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) it's just like any other present there's nothing wrong with giving money in itself, it all depends on who you're giving it to and what they like! sort of relevantish thoughts I like gift cards more because I don't feel like I should save some of it lmao when I get money I think I should be responsible and save at least a chunk of it for a rainy day, whereas gift cards make me think yay shopping spree but! if someone gives me money I would still be super appreciative of course~ Edited December 24, 2014 by Specta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darros Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I literally asked for "nothing but money and a graphing calculator" this Christmas so idk I feel fine about it. I wouldn't get it as a gift for a friend though unless they asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 no thought goes into giving money, so i can see why friends, family, so, etc. have a problem with the giver giving money. like, the point of receiving a gift is so that you understand the other person thought of you and wanted you to have something nice that shows their love. money takes all of that away, and even takes out the loveliness of opening gifts. for many people, gifts are supposed to be special. those are things i like to keep in mind when giving gifts. i don't really care about gifts all too much, so receiving cash is 100% a-ok. in short, gifts reveal thoughtfulness, so no, it's a terrible gift. but then again, it also depends on the receiver.

Thor Odinson Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 tbh I feel like gifts should be useful, personal-ness be damned unless you KNOW what the other person wants and WILL use give them something they'll use and money is always useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I feel like question 420 should have been: "Have you tried weed?"
