killamch89 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'd much rather take the cash because I can get myself the gift that I'd want. Which would you rather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 My birthday has never been celebrated before, so it would be weird as hell if someone was to give me anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZandraJoi Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 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. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of a handmade gift because that shows a lot of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiMirfi Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 When I was child, my parents knew what gift would I want, but now they directly give me the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally understandable as our preferences change as we grow older and parents sometimes lose track of that. AndreiMirfi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
