Hi everyone especially to the married couple or the single out there who are about to marry soon. As I observed and interviewed couples I received almost the same answer, they don't received gifts from their husband or wife anymore. Some of the reasons are as follows: Some guys say it is corny or not applicable anymore, some says they have to budget their money or not enough budget for gifts or flower, some says myself is enough, some says instead of buying gifts buy food for the family. But for me no matter what the reason at least give your wife or husband anything I am appealing, you don't need to buy him or her expensive gifts just the thought of her or him is important. Married couples out there don't stop courting or expressing your love give him or her something and please do say I love you. Thanks

Yes, my hubby does give me some surprises most of the time, like last time he put some snack in the gap between two phonebooks, he knows me I will need to find numbers in phonebooks everyday, I was extremely surprised to see my favorite snacks there. He always find a new way to make me surprised.

my husband buys a lot of gift to me, especially when it's my birthday, most of his gifts are jewels, jewels that the price are high that i'm afraid wearing it in my public because i might be snatched. today he said that he has a surprised gift for my birthday, that would be given to me when he comes home.

So your birthday is today? Anyway happy birthday to you.
I have asked my hubby not buying me jewels to me, as I don't like to keep this, I don't think it worths that much, I would only buy the jewels I like, so it's better to buy it by myself. I have not bought jewels for 6 years, I'd rather keep the money for other things.
Have a nice day~

I just got married for 2 months. So far, I will receive gift from my husband on special occasion only (especially on birthday). Sometimes, on other occasions like christmas, valentines, he often say 'no money this month but I promise I will give you later'. In fact, just a broken promise. Just don't like this - don't give then don't give but don't simply make an empty promise.

completely agree from u. my husband is more expressive than me. he always expresses his love with kisses, huging, gifts n outings. i feel a lucky one. but sometimes me feel dishearted we does'nt receive the same response. i always lack expression. i love him completely but expression wise, i m not that good.
i try to express more from today only.
thank u friend.

I think it is necessary to give or receive gifts from your hubby or wifes as it just showing their love and importance in my opinion and I do receive gifts from my husband in surprise during my birthdays or in some ocassion functions like Valentines day.

Yes, i still receive big and small gifts from my husband until now. We've only been married for five years and he's still as sweet and as thoughtful as before. I really- like it when he shops for my clothes, shoes, perfume, bags, and any other personal items. He's really good at shopping and he knows my taste and style and the best part is that he always gets the perfect size for me. I think it is very important for couples to express their love towards each other regularly. In our case, we still say I love you many times a day especially when we go online for our daily chat. He lives abroad and is located on the other side of the world. We also text each other as many times as we could daily to bridge the gap.

We buy some things for each other when we have extra money or found things that we thought would compliments us. But not wrapped in special package as most presents do.
Or just simply allowing my husband to buy things that he wants considering first our basic neccessities.
What i am not receiving this time was--- greeting cards.
Before, we use to greet each other during special occassions, simply by writing.
But now, since we got married, we dont write to each other anymore. Maybe just because we're in the same roof now.
But if i were to ask, I would definitely love to give him cards/ simple notes. Turned out the notes wroted: 1. Take out the garbage
2. organize your closet
3. please do pick up ur clothes, we have laundry basket...etc.. lol!!!

hello..
Actually., I am still a single but, If I have to marry soon to a right guy, I want my husband still giving me a gift even it is not an expensive, the important is from the heart. Giving gift to your parner is a one way to show you love especially when he say I love you. Wow! I love to hear that.... Hopefully he do that.hehehe

yes i still receive gift from my husband on very special occasions, i think that its normal that you receive gifts from your partner its showing of appreciation and how important you are and that your special. but the most important is how your partner feels for you and that how much your partner love's you.
happy mylotting!!!

Hi Mhethess,
I am not yet married, so i don't have that experience yet. But i think i will give my husband some special gifts when we married. Thanks for reminding about this. I do believed that when people get married, some men or women changed their idea about life, they don't make surprise like they used to do when they were boyfriend girlfriend. I think we all need surprises. I do think saying i love you is very important for daily life.

yes, i always recieved some sort of special gifts from my loved ones - like a special treat to our favorite restaurant, a make- over for myself, some sweet notes posted at the ref and what i loved most "breakfast prepared even before i woke up..
money does not count when oit comes to gift-giving, its the thoughts that counts...
there are so many ways to give gifts and not spending - just think of some creative ideas myLotting friends.. i know you've got a lot!
and oh, when you give - give it with your heart..it does works wonders - we're now 15 years married - but the flame of romance is still like new!

In my opinion, a gift can served as a suprise in our life. Even for married couple, they are long time to stay with together, and in order to make our life more colourful and romantic, suitable gift is useful to boost the relationship. We do not need many expensive or some luxury goods, just bauble or some others interesting is ok to considered as lub of our life.
