basta all i want is something useful.

Me too, I like useful gifts. Yung tipong items that I really use. Kaya lang may ibang gift-givers na parang hindi man lang pinag-iisipan ang gifts basta makabigay lang. I remembered, an office gave me an incense burner before. For the life of me, hindi ko talaga maisip kung bakit. I mean marami namang generic gifts na mas useful diba. Isip ko na lang that time, at least naalala niya ko. Yun nga lang, after 3 years, nasa closet pa rin yung gift niya.

nung bata pa ako..maybe until college mahilig ako mag-expect. pag hindi nangyari nalulungkot ako pero nakaka-move on naman agad. nung nagka-work na ako, hindi na ganun attitude ko. kahit igreet lang ako masaya na atleast may nakaalala. thinking ko kasi, now that i'm working and earning my own money. kaya ko naman bumili na ng material things for myself without expecting someone to give it to me.

for practical reasons na rin kasi kung magreregalo nga sila pero hindi ko naman magagamit dahil hindi ko gusto e di sayang lang. pag nag-mature ka maiintindihan mo rin yun at ciempre it's better to give than to receive. ^^

me naman, I really don't expect to receive gifts sa kahit anong occasion pero I love to receive kaya super happy ako if someone gives me a present..kahit small things lang naa-appreciate ko talaga.. like last christmas, i was surprised to see na ang dami kong gifts from family and friends, eh hindi ko expected yun, akala ko nga wala man lang ako gift kahit isa..hehe.. Hindi rin naman ako sad if I don't receive anything, yung maalala lang nila ako thru greetings eh happy na ako..at least naalala ako..

kapag kasi kahit greetings man lang nakalimutan pa lalo sa mga close ko talaga, yun sad ako..

sa friends ko i expect them to greet me on my birthday. dun ko nakikita if naaalala ba talaga nila ako. pag wala akong nareceive na greeting nagtatampo ako haha. kaya super na aappreciate ko yung mga nag ggreet kasi 12am palang ng birthday ko. bonus nalang pag may gift silang ibibigay.

kay hubby naman, since spoiled ako sakanya, i expect him to give me gifts every special occasion. sakanya ko bumabawi haha since alam ko naman bongga lagi gift niya. yung alam kong magugustuhan ko.

sa family ko naman i expect them to give me their full time on my birthday. a simple dinner with them super happy na ko. basta complete kami.

Pag sa birthday mas prefer ko na bigyan ako ng surprise cake

kesa sa gifts. Basta may cake eh solve na ako pag birthdays. Pero this Christmas hindi na ako nag-eexpect ng gifts lalo na i'm an adult, and kailangan i-save yung money sa priorities ko. I prefer rin na ako yung nagbibigay ng gifts lalo na sa family ko, masakit nga lang sa bulsa yung mga pinagbibili ko LOL. But it's all worth it basta maging happy family ko

i only expect gifts from hubby. from others, a simple greeting is enough.

Antigone · « **Reply #169 on:** December 01, 2012, 01:53:33 pm »

From my then-bf now-hubby, yes.

Pero alam ko naman he can afford it kaya I expect. Nung times early in the relationship na he was taking a risk on something and he didnt have a lot of disposable money, di ako nagreklamo na wala ako gifts.

ilykeee · « **Reply #170 on:** December 13, 2012, 09:28:00 am »

Girls, ako nasaktan talaga dahil na gift na nakuha ng hubby ko.

Christmas party ng department nila kagabi at nagjoin ako nung malapit na matapos. May exchange gifts sila pero ang twist pag nabunot na number mo pipili ka ng gift sa table. Pag turn na ng iba either pipili ng gift sa table or kukuhanin mo yung gift ng iba, then yung nakuhanan may chance ulit pumili ng gift sa table or magsteal ng ibang gift. Then si hubby nakakuha sya ng branded na gift buti wala pa nagkakainteres. Pero may plan na kami kung anung kukunin namin kapag nakuha yung amin. Then meron syang friend na guy na nakakuha ng makeup foundation, tawanan pa lahat. Then there's a friend naman na kinuha yung gift namin, so pipili si hubby ng gift akala ko kukunin nya yung napagusapan namin, then guess what mga sis yung makeup foundation ng maybelline yung kinuha nya, nasaktan talaga ako till now di ko pa sya kinikibo. I'm so sad.

^Baka ibibigay niya sa yo, sis? Kaya naisip niya na Maybelline kuhanin?

alinkshel · « **Reply #172 on:** December 13, 2012, 09:48:18 am »

i expect gifts from hubby only during our anniversary and my birthday, and when he travels abroad. those were the only times that i also give gifts to him.

eversince we met, he's been very generous. jewelries at first, but when he realized i wasn't that interested, gadgets naman. now that we're married, mas bongga syempre. kaya pag binibigyan nya ako ng flowers or chocolates, super big deal sakin yun.

so to answer the question, early on the relationship, hindi talaga ako nag-eexpect. but now that he's established a trend, yes, i do expect. but i also make sure it will not affect our finances.

yes sis ako daw naisip nya kaya yun ang kinuha nya. Kasi yung mga lalake na nakakuha ng gift pambabae inaalok yung mga regalo nila pang gift daw sa wife, e madami naman pagpipilian, di ko alam bat yun kinuha nya, ang gusto namin yung nakuha ng isa na super absorbent cloth. Siguro nasaktan ako kasi parang magmukha naman akong vain dun or makeup lang katapat ko, kasi sa dami ng pagpipilian makeup pa sis, sana hinde nila isipin na ako nagpakuha ng makeup foundation.

I dont expect gifts from anybody, I love to give though coz it's such a wonderful feeling - only to people that matters to me (family)

not to casual friends.

Ang pinakatype ko lang na natanggap kong regalo ngayon is yung galing sa pinsan ko na handbag. Thankful naman ako sa hipag ko she gave me battery charger with batteries whereas ang hiling ko lang is just the simple battery kasi kailangan ko yun. Sa mama ko gusto ko yung money na binigay niya sa akin na may tatak na DLSU sa tabi ni Manuel Roxas in denomination of 100. She gave me amount of P2000 na P100 denomination into pieces kaya ang gagawin ko p1500 lang deposit sa bank then yung 500 iiwan ko sa house as remembrance

She also gave me blouse kaso hindi ko type so good thing I was able to tell her honestly na hindi ko type ganun blouse. Wala naman sa kanya yun kasi alam niya na pihikan talaga ako sa damit.

Feeling ko walang money si hubby ko nitong Christmas, kasi December also yung birthday ko and usually we talk about gifts kasi sya naman November ang birthday. Then nung birthday ko, nag eexpect ako na hindi. Yung tipong ayaw ko lang madisappoint. Then, inabot ng mga kids ko ang birthday gift ni hubby, galing sa Rustan's. Sabi ko, hmm, malaki, Longchamp???not my most fave pero pwede na kasi bag.ha!ha! pero foldable yun so dapat maliit lang. Hmmm, wala ako maiisip. Pag open ko, wahhhh, panini maker. Kasi daw i'm always talking about panini maker. sa isip isip ko, bakit ko ba pinarinig na gusto ko nun. Syempre pag birthday, ayaw ko talaga ng kitchen things. So,i hid na lang my disappointment and kiss him and told him that i love it.

Then, he told me na for Christmas, na mag hanap na ako ng oorderan ko ng Ipad Mini because hindi kami nakabili sa HK trip dahil 2 weeks pre-order pala. Nahirapan ako maghanap at sinabi ko sa kanya, na hindi umabot yung order ko from my friend na uuwi from Canada.
Until naka hanap ako sa officemate ko, na binili from HK. Yehey, an Ipad Mini as Christmas giftt, so ok na ako. Maaga ko din binigay yung Iphone nya gift ko naman for him para maenjoy nya habang Christmas season.

So come Christmas Day, no expectations na kasi nakapagbigayan na. But still thinking kung ano ipapabili kong bag (LV or Gucci) sa friend kong magbabakasyon sa US right after Christmas. In short,medyo i really love bags. After opening a. lot of gifts, i saw a thick envelope (a christmas card) with my name written on it. Sabi ko, ay namiss-out ko, bakit makapal.Lo and behold, galing pala sa hubby ko, and inside, another envelope na Louis Vuitton, a gift card. Wahhh, then ayun kinuha na ni hubby ko sa car yung actual bag, a Neverfull MM in Yayoi Kusama (Limited ed). Super happy kasi, naitago nya sa akin na may gift pa pala syang iba. I really have no inkling. Hanggang ngayon,kinikilig ako.
Yun pala after hearing na di umabot yung ipad mini, pumunta agad ng LV Greenbelt to buy me my gift. I love you hubby! : )
It's actually the 3rd time in a row, na LV bag ang gift nya. Sabi ng iba kong friend,suggests daw ako ng ibang brand. Ay,wag ko naguluhin ang utak ng hubby ko,ha!ha! Thank you hon,love yah! : )

Basta ang pinaka-ayaw ko, picture frame.
Pinaka quirky gift, yung glass na umiilaw. sobrang aliw.
