I love shopping for my friends and family come Christmastime. Searching for the perfect gift can be incredibly time consuming and tedious, but once you've struck gold, it's the best feeling to know that your special someone is going to love what you bought them. On the flip side, who doesn't love getting presents?! Since Christmas is just a few days away, what I want to know is, would you rather give or receive gifts?

Give, but you have Receive spelled wrong in the poll options.
I am very uncomfortable receiving gifts.
1I more like giving than getting
2I like mutual gift giving. It just seems awkward if it's one-sided.
3Definitely agree with sweetk8ty..however, its WAY more fun to watch someone open a gift that you spent a lot of time picking out than opening something yourself. I just love Christmas all around
4I like both! I especially like surprising someone with something they love but are totally not expecting. And I love the reverse, too
5Whatever i receive is usually by mail so it's not so bad.
If i care for you, it'll
be both.
6I love to give. I love finding that great gift! Receiving isn't bad either!
7I would rather give because I hate getting gifts (it's awkward for me). I don't give people presents, but I give to charity in their name instead.
I am non-traditional, because honestly my family and I don't need any more stuff, but there are others out there that don't have anything, not even food!
I would rather help others than get somebody something they might not even need or use.
8I love love love buying gifts
9Both!
10It totally depends on the context. If I'm giving someone a great gift I know they will love, it is way way way better than getting anything. If I had a tough time and I'm iffy about whether or not what I picked out is something they will love, I get a little apprehensive about giving. That said, I am often not a fan of receiving, because people often give me random things that don't fit my personality at all, and I have no idea what to do with them, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!
11Both! Well...everyone has difficult people to buy for (I swear, it's always a man!) but I love it when I'm shopping and just stumble upon the perfect thing. And I think it's probably because I'm a little ditzy, but it seems like people always buy me the things I really wanted but never got around to buying for myself and I'm always shocked that they thought of it.
12i like giving because it makes me feel good to know that they feel good/loved
i like
to see the reaction they give and i dont expect anything in return at all!
13I LOVE giving!
14while i don't mind getting i find more enjoyment in giving =)
15I love giving gifts and receiving them! I love to see people's reactions to my gifts. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
I cannot lie. I also love to receive gifts as well.
16Not gonna lie.. I love to receive gifts as much as I love to give them!
17I like giving than receiving. Seeing others happy and giving others your thoughts and generosity give me GREAT JOY. The more you give, the more you receive---it may not be "materials" or "stuff" but blessings and grace which we all really need and which really matter
18I like giving, but this is assuming and endless budget, and I like buying stuff for myself just as much as I like buying stuff for myself just as much as I like buying stuff for other people, if not more!
19okkkkaaay
20so I should not talk and type at the same time!!! I meant...I like to buy stuff for myself just as much as I like buying stuff for other people!!
recieve i have given my whole life when do i get to RECIEVE i use to love to give what happened to turn it around there are to many takers out there
21BOTH!! I LIKE RECEIVING A LITTLE MORE
22I love giving gifts most, but I'm very excited to see what my boyfriend got me this year!
So I voted Both.
23Give! I can't wait to see everyones face when they open their presents!!!
24My boyfriend is going to love his - I just know! I want to show him now!!!
I love to give and really don't care if I don't get much. I wish I had lots of money and could do give bigger and better gifts, and more often.
25I loooove giving, but i hate when poeple feel like they have to give me something in return. And i also hate when people think they can 'buy' people with presents. Such as buying love, buying friendship, etc. But if its a little something, hey why not.
26i love BOTH!
27i love to give!
and she how much they love it!
but im not going to lie i do love reciving as well!
I love to see how much people love their gifts, but I also love for them to see how much I love their gifts!!!
28I like both, but the way things have been going lately...id very much love to recive
29I hate recieving gifts because I get nervous about how I react... sometimes I am just awkward.
30I too am also very uncomfortable receiving, but I am the worst present buyer! But if I find something nice, that's really good.
31I want to be rich enough to want nothing and give everything....
32i love to see how excited people get when you give them a gift. and i like the excitement of getting one myself!
33I like both
34I love giving but i hate watching people open their presents
