Do you think it is necessary to buy expensive gifts for friends when can't ?  

Well you do not need to feel bad for doing this. A gift is precious is all ways no matter if its expensive or cheap. The thought cost more than anything else. It never matters if the gift is expensive or not. Feel good about it. Atleast you give one compared to nothing. :)

Gifts need not be expensive. It is the thoughts that counts.

It is not what you give or how expensive or cheap your gift is that matters, it is the thought and the feelings that is most important.Friendship should be unconditional and not based on what you give or don`t give. If your friend expects you to give costly gifts and puts a price on your friendship, know that such friends are bogus and not worth having.

Don't feel guilty at all.In any relationship the gifting mind alone is seen and not the value of the gift is counted upon.If the receiver counts the value,then he/she is not needed to be taken as a serious friend.So,don't spend much when you can't afford and your friend can understand you.Cheers!

I do not think it is necessary to spend beyond your means. I think you should only spend what you can afford. If they are a true friend, they will understand and not expect something you really do not have the money for.

No it is not ncessary to buy 'expensive' gifts for your friends or famuly. I think if you buy from the heart then that is all that matters..Lori

i don't think it is neccesary to buy an expensive to your friend, if your friend don't need that gift. i have be given a lot of expensive gift. but most of them i don't need neccesary, and they also give me a big heavy to my back. so you can make a gift what your friend need or the gift full of your heart even not expensive.

I only give expensive gifts to those people I love. I have a bestfriend of whom I am giving all she wanted as long as I can. Of course, there is a limit. For my finances have a limit, too. But as long as I can afford it, I will give my bestfriend anything.

well it is never about cheap or expensive gifts. It is about knowing what the person likes the most and what he or she will need at that time.
When i go shopping for gifts, then my eyes only search for things that my friend may like. The price of the gift depends on the need and liking that the gift has. I mostly always end up buying gifts far more expensive than that permissible in my budget but when i see the happiness in my friends face it gets compensated.

I think it doesn't make a sense to buy a gift that we can't afford. If you buy it for your good friends, I don't think your friends will accept it comfortable because it is just so expensive. Perhaps he/she has to return you another expensive gift one day and this is a pressure.

I love China
