Do you ever receive wrapped christmas gift, still with price tag inside?  email this discussion to a friend?

And do you casually mention it to the giver? Or, its not a big deal at all and simply ignore it?

Oftentimes I just ignored an incident, but what makes it significant this time was that during the recent holidays, I received a total of 5 (different) wrapped gifts with price tags! Whatever happened to the givers? Were they all really in a hurry that they forgot to remove the price tags?

Personally, I am very careful with simple things like this and really, really make sure I do not include the price tag. How about you? Do you or you don't mind at all?

I haven't recieved any gifts with price tag inside. This may be because I got only very little gifts. I did it once. I got a Christmas gift for my colleague and got it wrapped with presentation paper at the store. It is not the duty of the person who wraps the gift to take out the price tag; I should have done that, but forgot it.

thanks for the reply. its true that it is not a big deal but i would prefer not to give one with a price tag on it. so i am very careful when i am the one giving the present. have a nice day, daliaj! :)

Hi Ysabel,

I am like you, very cautious and remove the price tag before packing. I felt it is not good to include the price tag with the gift. If I am wrapping the gift at shop itself I may request to the shop keeper to remove the price tag. May be some people are not serious or forgetting to remove the price tag. In my opinion a price tag should not be attached with the gift. I have never received a gift with price tag.happy

Hello Sreekala. Sorry for the late response. You are right. price tags are meant to be removed! Even if you wrap it nor not, one has to remove the price tag. We didn't mean to show - off the price to the receiver, right? Thats the same way I feel about this. Thanks for sharing..........

Yes, i did experienced receiving gift with a price tag. My thought was , if it was meant or overlooked. Either what way, I am still thankful of the gift. People do commit mistakes too.


myLot reputation of 80/100. online_jon (992)   ranked 3,120 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yeah! I agree with you Genericbe? That People do commit mistakes too that's why we must understand it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Ysabel (589)   ranked 52 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hello genericbe and online_jon,

yes, people do commit mistakes sometimes and we have to understand them too. however, the reason why i reacted this way is that, it is not an isolated case. i received several gifts containing price tags. but from diiferent people though. :)

Hi Ysabel? Wow! That's really a hurry situation for them to give a gift with a price inside and imagine it happens five times this holiday. Sometime it really happen when rush situation like you said. But have we realize it's because they still remember us until to the last minute of giving a gift. That's why no matter what happen we must thank to those people who give a gift no matter what is the pricd was.

Regarding to my experience? I haven't experience it because sometimes when I received a gift i just open it and trow the cover and no longer try to find if theres a tag price.

In summary the most important thing is we have a gift for any kind of event holiday. thumbup

Hi Ysabel,

I don't have any experience related to this --receiving a wrapped christmas gift with a tag on it this year. last year i did. i received a lotion with a price tag attached to it. i informed and teased the giver and she was so embarrassed about it. it was a funny moment for the two of us. now she was so careful and gave me gift not wrapped and no more tag on it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Ysabel (589)   ranked 52 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

the thing about having the price tag is the giver is kind a like showing- it -off. right? that' would be my initial impression. but who knows, he/ she might just really in a hurry and simply was not too careful about it. i know it must be an akward moment for your friend. :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. msfrancisco9369 (4836)   ranked 10 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

maybe but sometimes they forgot to remove it unintentionally. but it's really embarassing letting the receiver know the amount you pay for the gift. what if the gift is so cheap but it's a nice gift will it affect the meaning or thought behind the gift? so, we need to be careful to avoid being misunderstood.

I was always encouraged by my parents to remove the price tag from gifts before handing them out when I was younger, and it has always stuck with me. It feels like you're just trying to show off or boast if you leave the price tag on a gift before giving it to someone, and it kind of ruins the generous feeling.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Ysabel (589)   ranked 52 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

That's good. Like you, I am always conscious and very, very careful in removing the price tag before I will wrap my gift, or have the gift wrapped by someone else. Anyway, its not a big deal but for me, it is something one shouldn't do. Its not a regular thing and besides, it will kind give the receipient in a very akward stituation.. Happy mylotting, MrKennedy!

No, but father once gave me a present someone had given to him without opening it first. He thought it was red wine but it was akevitt (Norwegian schnaps, quite strong both in flavour and alcohol percent) which I don't like at all. Since then he has been more careful with what he hands out :-)

I think I would have been a bit surprised if I got a present with the price tag on. It doesn't matter that much, but it just something you don't do.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Ysabel (589)   ranked 52 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Hi Torunn.. sorry for the late reply as my internet connection was soooo slow for the past weeks... i hope you will not get a present with w price tag on it. Believe me, its a kind'a akward stituation.... happy mylotting!

I have received gifts before with the price tag still attached. I just ignore it. It is usually because the person wrapping it forgot to take the tag off, or were afraid that the gift would not be something that I would enjoy and wanted me to be able to return it.

I think that this year, many people were rushed due to the economy. Gifts were bought at the last minute and wrapped in a hurry to get them ready for the holiday. I would not worry to much about it, as it was most likely just forgotten in the rush.

I have a time or two out of all the presents I have received. Its truly not that big of a deal. Most of the time if I see it, its likely that I will not pay attention to what exactly the price tag says. I'll just rip it off and pitch if. Even if I do, it will forgotten. I really have no concern one way or another regardless.

I am very careful to make sure that the price tag are not on the gift's i am giving. I myself have recieve gifts with prices on it. It is not a really big deal to me as the gifts comes from the heart not how much it cost matters!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Ysabel (589)   ranked 52 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I agree to what you have said! It is not that a big deal as such, but it could put the receipient in an akwards situation, just the same. Happy mylotting bricked!
