When someone tells you they’re getting you a Christmas gift even though you’ve said not too (‘cause you a broke ho this year who can’t afford anythin for anyone ?) and they reply “I don’t want one back / lol it’s okay” are you suppose to listen?! IDK if it’s how I was raised but you don’t do that to another person! If someone gifts you, you have to gift back. Don’t put that guilt on me! Shit fam.
:lol: I understand, I was raised where if you receive a gift, you have to gift them back. I always felt bad when I couldn't get my friends anything back. :cry:
If you feel like you must make them something. Write them a heartfelt card and mention your appreciation for the gift. Also you can always give them something later. Take note of their generosity and reciprocate when you can. Or don't. It's really up to you. I'd never gift someone if I expected something back, and I might even see them gifting back as a negation of my gift. It's like if you give someone $5 and they give it back. It's like you never gave them a gift in the first place. I would give it back if I felt I didn't deserve it or thought I wasn't a good enough friend to them. If they want to give you a gift, let them. Becausse rejecting a gift is also rude.
You don’t have to gift them back. Just make sure they feel appreciated. Be true to them and remember what they did for you. Repay them in your own special way when you are able to. A petty person will remember that you didn’t get them anything for Christmas. An appreciative person will adore you for thinking of them all year round and not just on an invented holiday that has no significant meaning to them personally.
It's like when a woman firmly and angrily with a hint of fear screams at you "NO" she actually means yes, you know fam. When they say they don't want a gift you better pull out the wallet and you better foken gift dem.
i have never liked the gifting tradition, but people wouldn't understand, they'd still bring gifts, but I've never gifted back to anyone, and eventually they stop giving gifts to you. And thankfully, i haven't received a gift from anyone for a while now
