[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be the outlier here, but it’s an incredible feeling to receive a completely on point gift. It is a reflection of how much a person knows you, cares about knowing you, and showing you how much they care about knowing you.

Along the same lines, it’s an incredible feeling to GIVE a gift to someone that you know,  that is completely on point, and watching their face light up when they receive it.

And this has nothing to do with costs of the gifts.

It’s a beautiful reciprocity in relationship and one that I really out in a lot of effort to cultivate in my marriage.

I just feel that the obligation to give a gift on every occasion or set occasions, and how OP is claiming she would be happy with cheap flowers or some stupid trinket, is not the same thing at all. A truly perfect gift is a great thing. Getting pouty because you expect some physical object every single birthday and going out to dinner is not enough? That's childish and to act that way is to lower standards.[/quote]
