Is it mandatory to give someone a gift, if they give you a Christmas gift?
April 29, 2010 | In: Christmas Gifts
I mean, I have a lot of friends and I’m not gonna give gifts to everyone. Say that a friend gets me a gift. Is it mandatory for me to give it back? Even if its a christmas gift. Its nice to, but hey, if you have like 10 people doing this to you. Hell I aint gonna give my money n stuff.

I was thinking the same thing…what a friend you are. It is polite to give something in return. If you don’t like your friends well enough to be give them something when they have taken the time to get something for you, my guess is that you won’t have this to worry about much longer because you won’t have friends pretty soon. Then you won’t have the problem of what to get them. You’ll have all your money and stuff to yourself as you sit alone, with no friends. Good luck with that.

Like you said, it’s nice to, but it is not mandatory. You really should give a gift to one or two of them, your best friends. Even if it’s cheap, a gift card will do. But if you can’t give away all your money (it happens people, not everyone can afford to give nice gifts to all their friends… not even cheap gifts), then a thank you card should do. If they’re friends, they will understand.
If you don’t want to give a gift, not even to your best friends, you really don’t have to, it’s your call. It’s harsh, but it’s a reflection of who you are. And hey, if you get gifts from random people you barely know, especially if you didn’t ask for them, they’re basically doing this for the guilt-gift they expect you to give; you do not have to give anybody anything unless you want to. But not doing so will certainly let them know where they stand in your eyes.

NO, it is not mandatory.
Don’t worry about it.
You can be pretty well assured that by not giving a gift in return, those people will not give you a gift next time. If they ask you about it, politely say “I’m sorry, I didn’t know we were exchanging gifts.”

hi,nice to meet you,well sometimes a gift can be a card or some thing that is not to much money for you ,just keep it simple ,not all gifts have to be high in cost u know ,an no u don’t have to give them a gift if they give you one ,but if they went out of there way to give u one ,i think it would be fair for u to reply with one of ur own ,take them bowling ur treat thats a gift ,or a movie or buy a game that is not to costly for u ,but u should at least give one back if some one gives u one ,
