Ruby

We don't exchange gifts... he's the one always buying me gifts all the time lol. When I tell him I want to buy u something, I have the money but can't go out alone, he has to be with me, he says " u r my gift" :D
Now that I'm in USA and going back soon, I had the chance to buy him some real nice stuff that I know he will like and appreciate.
Gifts are very significant in a relationship, but it does not always have to be something materialistic.

@Eman- haha, stay out of trouble girl. u better get ur mom in a law a nice mother's day gift. take an advice from a married woman hehe

no gifts exchange...
i mean it never happened before that we exchanged gifts, like in wedding anniversary or something like that, it's like we go out celebrating in a nice place or something. gifts are given in birthdays..

Salah: :-) well, it's like the surprise won't be a surprise because there is only one hand that runs the budget :-), however, we can surprise each other but one surprise at a time :-)

hahaha,, gnerally women (esp in Egypt) take money from the husband to buy him a present,,,,and sometime they take double the money needed to buy it and buy themselves something with the rest,,,,To be honest I used to do the same when I was young with my parents,,, (now I will offend some people) Time of course is changing and I saw a lot even among friends ,, and the wives are really supporting the families not the men,,,,(yakhosarah 3la al regalah)

edit: yes as they say (i think) from daknoh ,afteloh ..it is a nice feeling to receive a present even if you pay for it,,actually I think the best present ever that the couple are together, I know this feeling especially now while laying down alone after being operated,,,now all of you go and kiss the hands of ur couple,,,and the feet of your parents ,,,it is a blessing to have someone , only who has not (like me) knows and feels that more...salam

Actually Ahmed doesn't admit this, for example when his birthday came i gave him his gifts and told him happy b.day, he said "mafish a3yad 3'er el so3'ayar wil kebeer bs". I was totally shocked and told him it is not a decent way to say those words in this situation and that am sorry it will NEVER happen again.
My b.day was after his by 4 days, i found him giving me lots n lots of gifts saying "am sorry for what i said".

But gifts are must i think.

That was the only situation happened between us about gifts.
Do u think i must get his mom a gift on mother's day? or shall i tell her that Ahmed said mafish a3yad 3'er el kebeer wil so3'ayar? !!! :D

@ Salah
I'll do it for ur sake only.
Coz a principle is a principle and they started it....ah ha haaaaaaaa (Marie Mounib laugh).

Yeah we are sentimental,often I find a gift placed somewhere odd,like in the refrigerator,under a cushion and once I found a bottle of perfume in my boot and asked him if it was a hint lol!
I admit I love buying my husband pressies too.
I love spontaneity in a relationship and why should you wait for a special date to let your loved one know how much you care.

It just increases love, and its a way to show how much you love... if you do, then show ! and if you don't, then don't... its as simple as that.

he gave me in occasions but me whenever i have extra money i got him a gift but he didn't much as me may be he don't have time for that thats all but i know if he have time and money he will got me kteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

When there's special occasion only. We try to be practical since we have mortgage and other bills that need to be taken care of.

My husband gave me a gold necklace once, years ago. He also gave me flowers after my first baby. I guess we're not that romantic in that sense. But he does cook me breakfast every day and that's a hell of a gift because I'm not a morning person at all!

I would say more of surprises rather than gift. Sometimes he buys me a rose out of sudden just to surprise me or something i love to eat.

As for proper gift, we normally give each other on special occasions.

Rokaya

we do. but it's not just the gifts in meaning material are important. yhe best gift from my husband is when he gets me rice with milk from saber. small things are most important.

My hubby & i often leave each other little gifts, & i like to put loving messages in his lunch bag for him to find. The last time he went away for his work, i put a message in each sock, so he had one for every day.

well i dont know about trade, its more a kind of one way street, i buy him gifts for christmas, birthday and wedding anniversaries. he buys me gifts when he remembers or when my daughters remind him.
occasionally i get the odd bunch of flowers and he sometimes picks me flowers from the garden. Ironically the time i get the most gifts is if i am going away with out him, then i will find my case full of things like chocolates and notes and other little things.

I am married and giving is part of me growing up. We were poor buy we always try to make some ones day.We used to give simple gifts we made because my grand mother taught us it is not the gift but the thought.I give gifts on my wife's and children's birthday ,Christmas , Mothers day.
Last week I took them out to stay in a hot spring spa.There was no reason attached to this.It is just the way I am.I just enjoy it.We do not trade gifts. It sound like you give me and I will give you.That is exchanging gifts.I make it if it is birthday or Christmas everyday.
