Speaker 4 (05:18):
Howike season is here and we're talking about gift giving
in relationships, Gary, and it just say to assume that
you and your partner are exchanging gifts or should you
discuss it? And uh, you know, and what if you
brought your significant other gift but they didn't get you one?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Uh would you be mad? Huh would you be mad?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Let's argue, all right, y'all, it's the season of giving,
and to day we're talking about gift giving in relationships.
And many times gifts can express love and appreciation and
way and you know, in ways that words can't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah, ricky, lots of couples, couples exchange gifts for Christmas.
But should it be assume that you're exchanging gifts or
should couples discuss it first just to make sure everybody
is on the same page. And when you do decide
to exchange gifts, are their rules or guidelines to follow?
Should the gifts be appropriate for the stage of your
relationship or should it matter?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, y'all.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
According to this new study, here are five reasons that
gift giving and relationships is important. Number one, it demonstrates thoughtfulness.
Number two, they can help you express your feelings. Number three,
gifts can enhance your connection or your bond a. Number four,
gifts can reinforce your commitment to your relationship. At number five,
(06:32):
they may enhance your intimacy and romance.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
All right, so today we want to know if you
are in a relationship, do you automatically assume that you
are exchanging Christmas gifts?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't even know what we I mean, you are
of course.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I mean, if you miss somebody, you're gonna get them
some I'm sure or do you ask just to be sure?
See when you start getting technical like that, you don't
handle damn relationship if you have to set up here
and guess what he's gonna get some person that you're
actually will right or not? You know what I'm saying.
And how do you determine what determine what type of gift?
Oh my god, just get got on my nerves.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
It depends on how serious, how serious the relationship is too,
because if it's.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Even if you like her, you get up something.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I mean, it determines how much you you know, how
deep you go with the gift giving, Like you might
give us something.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Casual, that's right, and that gift sometimes that gift shows
exactly what he thinks about you.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like I was dating a guy. He got me some
golf clubs. I was like, what, but what do you
do almost every day? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
But that's what my that's different now then I didn't
even play golf.
Speaker 2 (07:38):

Speaker 6 (08:01):
A woman, gift to give a girlfriend that doesn't play golf.
Speaker 9 (08:04):

maybe just play.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Golf and wanted you introduce you to something fun because
you love it now.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Or maybe he bought it for somebody else and here
since Christmas came out, he just gave it to you.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah I know, I know you do. Yeah, yeah, I
see how you do that.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Howike season is here and we're talking about gift giving
in relationships, Gary, and it just say to assume that
you and your partner are exchanging gifts or should you
discuss it? And uh, you know, and what if you
brought your significant other gift but they didn't get you one?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Uh would you be mad? Huh would you be mad?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Let's argue, all right, y'all, it's the season of giving,
and to day we're talking about gift giving in relationships.
And many times gifts can express love and appreciation and
way and you know, in ways that words can't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah, ricky, lots of couples, couples exchange gifts for Christmas.
But should it be assume that you're exchanging gifts or
should couples discuss it first just to make sure everybody
is on the same page. And when you do decide
to exchange gifts, are their rules or guidelines to follow?
Should the gifts be appropriate for the stage of your
relationship or should it matter?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, y'all.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
According to this new study, here are five reasons that
gift giving and relationships is important. Number one, it demonstrates thoughtfulness.
Number two, they can help you express your feelings. Number three,
gifts can enhance your connection or your bond a. Number four,
gifts can reinforce your commitment to your relationship. At number five,
(06:32):
they may enhance your intimacy and romance.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
All right, so today we want to know if you
are in a relationship, do you automatically assume that you
are exchanging Christmas gifts?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't even know what we I mean, you are
of course.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I mean, if you miss somebody, you're gonna get them
some I'm sure or do you ask just to be sure?
See when you start getting technical like that, you don't
handle damn relationship if you have to set up here
and guess what he's gonna get some person that you're
actually will right or not? You know what I'm saying.
And how do you determine what determine what type of gift?
Oh my god, just get got on my nerves.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
It depends on how serious, how serious the relationship is too,
because if it's.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Even if you like her, you get up something.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I mean, it determines how much you you know, how
deep you go with the gift giving, Like you might
give us something.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Casual, that's right, and that gift sometimes that gift shows
exactly what he thinks about you.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like I was dating a guy. He got me some
golf clubs. I was like, what, but what do you
do almost every day? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
But that's what my that's different now then I didn't
even play golf.
Speaker 2 (07:38):

maybe just play.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Golf and wanted you introduce you to something fun because
you love it now.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Or maybe he bought it for somebody else and here
since Christmas came out, he just gave it to you.
Speaker 2 (08:18):

If you want your partner a gift and they did
not get you one, would you be upset?
