To Gift or Not to Gift – That is the Question

November 10th, 2008

louboutin satin crepe pump bow detail To Gift or Not to Gift   That is the QuestionI certainly love being showered with love and attention (and yes, fabulous gifts) as much as the next girl. But what I don’t like is when someone looks at me and thinks that I’m the sort of girl who’s love is up for sale – that dangling a pair of heels in front of my nose will get me into the bedroom or that the promise of a sexy shopping spree will lead to happily ever after.

The truth is that as a woman who works in fashion in New York City, I have certainly had my fair share of men who flaunt the fact that they can buy you the world. That the more they whip out that black Am Ex, the the more you’ll love them. Now I’m not going to deny that every girl (or person actually) wants to be with someone who can support them, but what I really want is to be with someone that I am able to equally support and give endless to. Of course I ultimately want to end up with an extremely kind and generous person who is just dying to give me the world so I guess I should get used to the whole gift thing, but it’s just an idea I’m not quite comfortable with at this point. Hmm – maybe you all should just send me a fabulous pair from Barneys so that I get used to this whole thing sooner rather than later.

Anyway, I’m really curious to know how you guys feel about being gifted so please answer take my poll below – and for this one you’re able to choose more than one answer because I think this is sort of a sticky question (or at least it is for me)…

Do you accept gifts from the person/people you're dating?

    gifts are always great, especially when it comes in a Harry Winston box… but only if it’s from the right person:)

    god, ditto on the shoe… it’s amazing.

    the only good gifts are those that belie thought and consideration. that can involve money being spent, but in the absence of thought (which requires a level of knowledge of a person that usually isn’t present in early days), it would be cold and weird and a definite turn-off.
