| If a woman is truly into you then gifts are a given.
I believe you need to know someone to even attempt a
gift. So many of us are not truly altruistic or compassionate,
So I am suspect of the “gift flying from a**hole” just because
I am a giver? WTF
I had a woman recently, and I know this is reverse topic (SUE ME),
She was very wealthy and she tried to buy my affection. It turned
me off.
Gifts are meant to convey deep connection and in the best terms,
Love is the only true gift any of us can give.
It is truly, the only gift that exists, in my humble opinion.

| trance I disagree. What I seek is a man that can give me something unique that showed he cared enough to think about it. Preferably not store bought and something he thought of himself.

| yeah women do appreciate small gifts. dont do it too often though. if you do it ALOT then she will feel like her affection is being bought. no one wants their affection to be bought...unless ur paris hilton or something. lol

| I agree flower girl...although the truffle was bought, it was still a sweet and special gesture.....
He also sent me a beautiful letter of support, which I asked him if I could blog..and on our second date...he had printed it out and framed it for me...it made me cry...
I had told him how much it meant to me.
Yeah...its the thought that counts.

| Looks down at "self"...
Now THAT'S what I would call a small gift!!!!
Seriously, tho...
Went to the effort to make a very nice birthday card for the ex...
Had dinner ready.... the whole nine yards!!
She threw the card in my face and called me too cheap to buy her a card or take her out to dinner
I had pretty much resolved to *never* hand make anything for anyone again untill I stumbled upon this thread.
Guess I continued to "hand make" songs about/to/for some of my more recent relationships... but that's not alway a good thing.
But some of my better stuff is about positive things...
Guess that just comes with the territory!!
Awesome topic OP!!

| Ever hear the saying, Little Things Mean Alot...Its not how much a gift costs, its the thought that counts, and if you think enough of your Special Someone to give something from your heart just be honest in giving it.

| Aww hell..simple...thats AWFUL...and theres a damn good reason shes your ex...
personally...I would have loved that.
My ex would just forget...and stop at 7-11 and buy a cheesy a** 7 dollar wilting rose and call it good...IF he even remembered that.
For my last birthday he tried to buy me a stripper...thought it would "spice up" our life...the fact that he was being an abusive a** didnt cross his mind as the reason we werent having sex....DUMBASS...
THAT...must have sucked..if I made someone a card and cooked them dinner and they threw it in my face? I wouldnt just be devastated...I would be DONE....if someone took the time to make something personal like that for me AND cook dinner?
I think thats the sweetest and most wonderful thing ever. Hot tea and honey when your sick are pretty sweet too....
And she was a big fat beyotch.
You can do better...and there are women out there who appreciate that stuff. It actually makes us melt.
Dont give up on that. Songs? Awwwwwwwww...even sweeter!!!!!!!!

| I prefer a man showing me affection. He does'nt need to buy me gifts
just because he likes me. I'd rather have the affection and words.

| Me too...but a really sweet thoughtful gift that didnt cost money?
That is wonderful.
It means they thought about you, what you like or dont like...or at least tried to think of something nice...
I agree I dont NEED them. But the post was...do women appreciate them?
I do.

| We definitely appreciate anything a man does that's thoughtful, even a single flower. Pink is my favorite color, and if a man remembers that and brings me a pink rose or carnation, I think that is special. But, Money does not ever need to be involved. Cook me dinner, help me around the house, wash or vacuum my car, even just some extra affection when I have had a rough day. Anything that shows you care and have thought of me I think is wonderful.

| I myself like thoughtful gifts. Not anything expensive, something made by him, even a card is great, a flower, a token of something that has meaning between the two of us. I would feel uncomfortable with money spent on a gift too early in a relationship. Learned my lesson right here on dh....

| It's the little things that a man does that are a gift and are priceless. Material things are nice but sometimes it's the loving gesture that is appreciatd most. I read about an older couple that had been together for years. She started having problems doing simple things. Her husband then started painting her toe nails for her. Not only is that a wonderful gift to her but to him as well. For when one pleases another then the gift is shared by both.
