Should Women Without Kids Receive Mother's Day Gifts? [POLL]

Ken Dillon — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:31:08 +0000

Over the weekend, I overheard a woman going on and on about what she wanted for Mother's Day. Diamond earrings, a few hours at the spa and a nice dinner out. Except for one small detail: she didn't have any kids! I almost fell out of my chair when the lady she was with asked, "Your husband does all that and you guys don't even have kids?"

Apparently, they have an agreement that because she could theoretically have kids, she should get a Mother's Day present. Is it just me or is that a little...weird?

My friends will sometimes ask what I want for Christmas. I always have a hard time answering them. The material things I would like to have are items that I cannot afford. Since all of my friends are in a similar socioeconomic position as myself, I get uncomfortable talking about presents. There are a few things I know I don't want though.

Be Careful: Buying a Bad Gift Can Cause A Fight [SURVEY]

I was talking with Sammy Kershaw this morning about Christmas gifts. We were reminiscing about the time when we had to put actual thought into the presents we bought for people. We had to pay attention to their likes and dislikes and find the gift that would tell them that we cared enough to know they would enjoy having that item. Today we seem to be all about cash and gift cards. Those items seem very impersonal to me. Giving them seems to say "I don't know anything about you, but you're on my Christmas list. So here ya go."

Christmas Presents That Cause Fights

I’ve heard of other gifts actually causing arguments between couples. Generally the man would buy the wrong thing, or worse: the wrong size! We (males) are inherently bad at gift giving. Let’s face it. Our brains just aren’t wired that way. But has it ever caused a fight?

Have You Ever "Regifted" a Gift? [POLL]

Didn’t get what was on your Christmas list last year? Many people consider “regifting “a great alternative for letting those unwanted Christmas presents collect dust in the attic.
