I'm a romantic, and I like guys to bring flowers and buy some gifts - not expensive things, just romantic things.
I definitely start early and keep items in mind throughout the year for key people in my life. I love wrapping everyone's gifts in hand-painted wallpaper sheets, which gives the gift extra love.
I'm the hardest person to buy a gift for.
At every Christmas, I fail to remember the daughters' shoe sizes, and they are not growing, but grown. After ostensible hard thought about who needs what, I have failed to give good gifts; I have failed to receive good gifts.
Those gifts are ever the most acceptable which the giver makes precious. [Lat., Acceptissima semper munera sunt auctor quae pretiosa facit.]
O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.
I do give books as gifts sometimes, when people would rather have one than a new Ferrari.
I'm all about thoughtful gifts. If you put thought behind it - it could be $5 - but if there's thought behind it, I think that's what matters.
I don't give books as gifts. Books are extremely personal, and I would hate to give someone a book that they don't like or want, because it would break my heart if they didn't read it.
The question on my husband's birthday is always, What do you get for the man who has nothing?
In my view, the best gift is one that benefits both the receiver and the planet.
It's hard to shop for a guy who has everything.
A lot of people like to say that they have trouble getting gifts. I have trouble giving them. It's not out of a lack of generosity, mind you. My fallback is to go big, no matter what the occasion.
A little given seasonably excuses a great gift.
Books make great gifts because... [they don't] come in any particular size, so you don't have to be embarrassed if you bought somebody the wrong size.
