For Your Birthday, Would You Rather Receive Cash Or Gifts?

[killamch89]

I'd much rather take the cash because I can get myself the gift that I'd want. Which would you rather?

I do not mind both 🙂 then again seems that when that day comes, I get nothing 😛 

Mostly its cash, so that money cango towards things that I want or saving up to, or maybe helps paying off bills

My birthday has never been celebrated before, so it would be weird as hell if someone was to give me anything.

As I said, cash is more versatile as a gift.

We don't do gifts for birthdays, holidays, but to answer, I'd say Cash. Unless it’s a well-thought out handmade gift. It never made sense to me. I buy you something for your birthday, you buy me something. Let's just keep the money & buy what we REALLY wanted! & focus on the time with each other instead.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I like the idea of a handmade gift because that shows a lot of effort.

When I was child, my parents knew what gift would I want, but now they directly give me the money.

Totally understandable as our preferences change as we grow older and parents sometimes lose track of that.
