Title: Married couples
Post by: gwilson31 on November 03, 2020, 01:36:43 pm
For Christmas do you buy one gift for a married couple or do you get each one a gift?    :present: :present: :present: :present: :present:

it depends on the couple. but very often i get gifts for both of them. Most couples have very different interests unless there is a major gift you know they both want. It also depends on how well you know them. sometimes a gift certificate to a restaurant is better. :pumpkin: :peace: :wave:

Giving a gift to a restaurant to a married couple is better well suited for their anniversary then to think its Jesus birthday.

For my daughter and her husband we just give them a cash sum and they do whatever they want with it. with friends we buy a gift suitable for the couple

 Our kids get gifts for each. Of course it's just money, but the spouses each get the same amount as the rest of the kids.

We get a gift for the couple together, and then a small more personnel gift for each.

That's a good question.....I'll have to think about that when I'm in that situation

Again, I agree that it depends on the couple and I would also look at how well I know them and how close I am to them.  For the most part, I like to get the couple something they can enjoy together, such as gift cards to restaurants, tickets for movie theatres or concerts, a night at a nice hotel, a great food basket that has a variety of products, maybe a limited subscription to a streaming service.

We pull names, so each one will get a gift from some one.

It really depends on the couple, but 85% of the time we buy for the couple.

I think it depends on how much you are spending and the couple as well. I think it would be cheaper to buy a gift for both than two separate gifts. It also depends on how well you know the couple for example is there an activity they both like to do together.

They should take Jesus with them.

Just a reminder to you,he is a spirit now and doesnt need to eat.

Also if U read the end of 1 of the gospels he tells us all he is with us till the end of this system of things.I dont think he needs a happy birthday either...he just wants us to memorialize his death as he told the other 11 apostles after he dismissed Judas.

You got your moneys worth of a witness by mentioning him.My pleasure.

Buy one gift that would encompass both of the individuals.  Makes it easier than guessing.

Usually it's just the little kids that get gifts.  Dinner and time spent with family is what the adults get.

I usually give my parents a couple presents to share and then some to keep individually.

Give them one gift unless they are on the outs and being selfish.  Sometimes the finances aren't there to buy 2 gifts/

 Happily and comfortable with each other couples do not need to get each other a Christmas gift.
