I think it depends. Some people suck at giving gifts and need guidance while some people are really good at remembering what another person might like 🤷🏻♀️
And me. I love surprising ppl. Close friends and family, please, I know what you like. I’m with tam. If you’re asking for gifts, you are missing the point.
Tamera’s make up is banging! They need to show tutorials on their smokey eye looks bc their makeup be looking so good! Looks I’ve never seen on TH-cam from makeup gurus.
I’m LITERALLY so confused as to how a wish list takes away the spirit of Christmas... when a child tells Santa what they want , they end up getting the present and thank who ? Santa... they’re not gonna be like “ oh wow... Santa actually got me the gift I wanted , I needed to be surprised “ like the only way it takes the fun or spirit away is when you wanna emphasize and make such a HUGE DEAL of wanting to be surprised !
My daughter never wrote a wish list to Santa😢😢 she would say " I already asked Santa when I prayed".. I had to guess or take her to the store to see what she got excited with lol...she is 12 now and still wont write a wish list.... All I want is a wish list lol would make my Shopping so much better.
Myronn Coleman You said it a child. Children get really excited that Santa actually “exist”. And for adults you need to be thankful you get something if not then don’t celebrate and buy yourself the things you want instead of buying someone a $200 gift. Once you make your own money buy it yourself and don’t expect anyone to know what you really like.
When u have broke friends that list won’t matter, you’ll get jewelry from Walmart rather than Tiffany or Kay. I rather not set myself up for the disappointment, plus sentimental gifts and the art of surprise works out better, some times you end up getting things that you didn’t even remember that you needed.
I agree with Tam and Adrienne. If you’re a picky person I would much rather a list form you but at the same time I pay attention to every conversation I have with someone so that helps with getting a sentimental gift. I will say I do agree with Tam because growing up I always made a Christmas list and I never got what I asked for because we were poor so In a way it gave me false hope. Honestly it depends on you🤷🏽♀️
I agree with Tamera. I love giving gifts. I love taking the time to think about what someone would like, and I love seeing their face when they open the gift.
I absolutely disagree. *getting people gifts they didn't ask for is actually wasteful for the environment and a strong waste of money* Nowadays people work extremely hard for the bottom dollar... don't have someone waste money on a gift that you might throw out later or we'll never use. *it's always best to give someone several ideas that vary in price range so that they can pick the gift that's most comfortable for them* and you'll get something that you'll actually use/want* I'm in my twenties, our lives are so busy nowadays *communication is important even when it comes to gifts* ♡
I’m with Adrienne on this one. I understand the element of surprise and it’s more sentimental and personal getting something you didn’t ask for or expect but money is tight and things are expensive, I’d rather spend my money on something that person will really love and something that won’t go to waste.
I agree with Tamera. The fun part about gift giving for Christmas or Secret Santa is _surprising_ someone with a gift. It's just not the same when you already know what you are going to receive
As you get older you really don't want anything and are just grateful for what you got.At least for me,I'm 28 and stopped caring about gifts years ago.To me Christmas is just another day except for having the message of the true meaning. I want to give gifts IF I can but these days there's just no time so cards are really just what people want and appreciate more. I've personally have had a hard year and have not been able to get into the 'holiday spirit' I've tried but haven't even wanted to decorate my Christmas tree or do cookies.Instead my parents did that. They're asking so hard what do I want and I just don't want anything but peace,quiet,and just have a day. Idk maybe it's just me but the older you get the harder it is sometimes to have the same feeling as when you were younger.
I haven't decorated in years. And I'm a Grinch I guess because I haven't bought my kids anything for Christmas either in a good while because they get something throughout the year *All* the time.
Same girl same. It’s family who makes it harder especially if you don’t want to celebrate anymore or have outgrown the tradition. As you get older you just want to stay home and start your own traditions. Watching Christmas movies and eating whatever is in the fridge lol
I hate to say it i hope I don't sound ridiculous but I agree with Tam lol...to me gift-giving isn't about you just getting me what I want (I can do that for myself) but its about giving me something from your heart that you want me to have..thats what makes it special.😊😊
If someone ASKS for the list give it to them... if they don't, don't give it to them. I have people that always ask, so I send them my Pinterest board... but its awkward to send your pinterest board to someone who doesn't ask.
I think for work holiday party’s where there is a secret Santa going on then yes a list is great. For close family and friends no, you should already know what your family wants/ needs. And it’s amazing when you open something and remember the moment you shared you wanted that with them.
Tamera don't remember getting those earings because Adrienne gifted them to Tamar lol whenever they be talk about season one they have to be very careful lol
I definitely agree with Adrienne. Nobody got the time to think deep about a gift.That’s going to stress you out. I know for sure that’s going to give me bad anxiety
I did the wish list once and my friend didn’t even give me what I asked for. I choose reasonable stuff and instead she gave me box of mint chocolates. I hate mint in chocolate lol turns out she liked them and figured I would. 😑 and guess what I got her? What she asked for on her damn wish list lol wish lists are only for people who are willingly to give. If not your on your own or just ask me lol
I keep a running "gift ideas" list throughout year for all my people, so when the holidays or birthdays come around I can look back and have options / ideas quickly.
i think for most people i would definitely just want a list. it makes my life a lot easier but for someone I really cared about like my children or partner i would want to suprise them with the things theyd want not feel like they had to tell me what they wanted.
I agree with Tamera that’s the joy of Christmas being thoughtful if not it just becomes a consumer vile like I checked you off my list there’s no love involved
I agree with Adrienne, yet my family and my fiance get upset when I send a group txt with my Christmas list gifts from $25-$$$😂🤣🤣 I'm just making sure I will love the gift I get and not get something that I probably won't use and you wasted your money.on something I dont really like. They say it takes away from the Christmas spirit and the joy of the mystery of the gift.
A wishlist is one of the MAIN things of Christmas. Children write down a list for Santa to give them exactly what they want... It's the exact same thing. It's one of the MAIN joys of Christmas
Why not do both? Get a couple of things from their list that you know they really want or need, and get a couple surprises. And usually if it's a family member or friend you coordinate with others around them so they can end up getting most of the things from their list.
Wishlists are a must. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want stuff, and if there is an item I need, I will have usually already bought it for myself. If you want to be surprised, be broad. Usually, my list would be like: socks, coffee beans, art, workout clothes, etc. There's still a lot of variety this way, you can give clothing sizes, and the people that know you will find stuff that fit your tastes. If you wanna be surprised, you can still give guidelines.
A wish list is so much better it’s exhausting to try and figure out what people want. Spontaneous gifts are nice but I like to know what people want lol.
I liked surprises when I was a kid but as I got older I realized people buy me things I don't like or want or need lol. Over the past few years my sister has been asking me what I want due to the past experiences. I usually give her a list of items from different price range and it's up to her pick whatever in her budget. I'm happy and she's happy that I'm happy.
Y’all noticed how loni is always soooo patient, and lets all the other women talk, and then calmy stated her opinion in the end? Love that. She is never trying to talk over anyone
I completely agree with tam. Wish lists take away from the joy. A wish list for kids is fine because there is so much to keep up with when it comes to toys.
There are a lot of people who don't have the money to make purchases for themselves throughout the year, so wish lists really help ensure that these people receive the items they really need.
A wish list is great also you can still give them something that’s not on the list that you know they would enjoy. It definitely helps & will make shopping so much easier. Do y’all see the way these stores been around the holidays?? Aww naw. if all else fails give a gift card or some money 🤷🏽♀️
yep . istarted givin gift cards/money (from stores they liked go buy) couple years ago .. like uhm YOU buy what YOU want/need cause .im done looking at face of disapoinment wen the other person receives a gift they didnt like (n no .ido not give bad presents ..)
My family always have done lists so I don't have any problem with it, it is still a joy to get someone what they want and can still be a surprise. The worst part is giving somebody something they don't like or won't use. Also some people are just so hard to buy for for various reasons. I do love to pick out a gift or two that I heard someone saying they want or when somebody gets me something I forgot I mentioned that I need/want, but that's not always possible. I have a horrible time trying to find something for my brother, but my mom on the other hand; she is so easy for me to buy presents. Lol. It is hard for me to come up with a list each year, but I'm still excited when I get that something I might even expect to get...
I'm 100% with Adrienne. Especially when it's a secret Sant situation. I don't mind a surprise, but I'd rather gift people something they actually want.
Im 10000% with Loni and Adrienne on this one...hit me with a list. I like lists.They take the stress out of the equation and everyone will be happy with the result. Win win💯
I think you should make a list for ideas not specific things. For example, I love things that smell good, you have a lot of options...candles, perfume, chicken lol. I think if you say what you want, it takes away the actual excitement of the unknown. So an idea list is good
I will gladly hand over a full wish list, hoping I get everything. 😆❤❤. I think it depends on how well you know the person. I will say having a list is the way to go.
The best thing is a no wish list. It's a list you create of things you do not need or wont. Because there's always a person who gives you lotions , perfumes, books and more that you just don't like, want or need.
I think the most courteous thing to do is to not be so entitled and giving people a wish list. I think asking for or expecting gifts is so wack. In my family we don’t do presents. We just use it as another reason to get together and eat really good.
when i was younger i asked my dad for a karaoke machine because i saw one in costco, if you go to costco you know what im talking about!!! he got me the a cheap one from best buy!!! now i say exactly what i want and help him look for deals & coupons, aint nobody got time for a janky gift!
A wish list is better that way you don't waiste money on something that they don't like or need. It takes alot of time and is alot of stress to think of a great gift. Atleast having a general ideas what the person wants is better. It's better than having to fake excitement and feeling bad if you don't like the gift.
I honestly I like the list. Give me the list, so I can pick it up and know that you will actually want and use the requested gift. Then after I pick something off the list I'll get you something you didn't ask for, simple as that.
Honestly it depends who it’s for. I can buy my sister a gifts and not even need a list. As for my Aunt or cousin I will need a long list of items to choose from lol.
I’m like tamera. My bf was watching a laker game and said “those warm up sweaters are really cool” MEMORY ACTIVATED I was like “yeah they are” he never bought one so I’m getting him one for Christmas. The surprise is I’m getting our son a matching one! 🥰
How about listen to people when they talk, that’s how I learned how to buy gifts. If you listen to what they like or what they mentioned before , maybe make a note , or buy it immediately. Either way a gift is a gift .
Why not do both? Get something they wanted & a surprised one. I’m like Tamara. I love love giving, so I always give extra...even if it’s something small.
Make a list for everyone anyways - if they want to go rogue noone's stopping them! I'd be thankful either way, people are voluntarily spending their hard-earned money on me!
I’m at the point to where I don’t want people spending their hard earned money on something I’m not gonna like or use. I’ve hung on to things like that out of guilt, never use it, then eventually let go of it like 5 years down the road and STILL feel guilty for getting rid of it. Just get me something I need or want.
To me it doesn’t matter. Whatever works for each individual. If total “surprisement” works for you, then don’t make a list and let people surprise you, and if having a gift list works for you; make the list. But if lists aren’t for you; don’t get mad or act disrespectful when someone gifts you something you don’t like. That’s all I’m saying
A wish list takes away the fun of christmas. But honestly whoever is receiving a gift should be grateful that youre even considered to receive a gift. There are so many children who cant have xmas because they cant afford it. But some people out here having their kids making wish lists. Its ok to make wish lists. But really surprising them with what you can buy for them and teaching them to be grateful for what they get. I used to ask my kids what they want and they would tell me and I get it. Now I went back to getting them gifts and surprising them with it. Hell some people out here having they kids wishlist with the most expensive stuffs on it. Then ya gotta go out and bust ass to work hard and get the money to buy them that. Xmas really is the only time I allow my kids to go crazy on toys. Other than that if its not clothes,shoes,food or a necessity den no thank you
A Christmas list is a must honestly. Never doing the elephant gift exchange. I work for a doctors office and the manager regifted the gifts we gave her last year. I was extremely disappointed mad and confused. I cannot believe how cheap she is.
"Surprise, I spent my money"
😂😂😂
Adrienne kills me.
I think it depends. Some people suck at giving gifts and need guidance while some people are really good at remembering what another person might like 🤷🏻♀️
Cantika Gaspersz yasss I completely agree 👏🏻
Very true. good gift givers should keep doing what they do...and the bad one should request a list, lol.
I'm the first person. I really appreciate wish lists.
Nobody:
Tam: Seriously, you guys.
And me. I love surprising ppl. Close friends and family, please, I know what you like. I’m with tam. If you’re asking for gifts, you are missing the point.

Have we become so spoiled that if you don't get something you want IN A GIFT, we get mad!!!
Ohh Lord 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

I agree with Tamera. I love giving gifts. I love taking the time to think about what someone would like, and I love seeing their face when they open the gift.
Can we stop obsessing over what gift to buy someone and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season💕🎄💕
Facts! Mannn so many people have became material beings. People have forgot how to step away from all these presents...
Thank You!
Jesus is not real
@@Justforamoment0608 I hope you don't celebrate Christmas with that attitude.

My wish list is easy. Just give me money

How about being appreciative that u got something and the person thought of you.
I hear both of their sides. they both right

As soon as I turned 12 I stopped receiving gifts and I’m 18 now 😂😂😂 I either get money or I get nothing at all
I agree with Tamera, it takes away the getting excited to open your gift when you already know what it is
I am loving Adrienne’s look ❤️ the dress, the hair, that color ! She’s looking AMAZING
I'm with Tam. I love the surprise of Christmas!
I DO agree with Tamera 100%, however this year I had so much going on having a list was SO helpful. On a regular year, I would love to just surprise.
I think for work holiday party’s where there is a secret Santa going on then yes a list is great. For close family and friends no, you should already know what your family wants/ needs. And it’s amazing when you open something and remember the moment you shared you wanted that with them.
Lonis “HERE WE GO” 🤣🤣🤣
Tamera don't remember getting those earings because Adrienne gifted them to Tamar lol whenever they be talk about season one they have to be very careful lol
Mhm they changed the subject real quick
Adrienne was so far up Tamar's ass season 1, I think you might be right.
I definitely agree with Adrienne. Nobody got the time to think deep about a gift.That’s going to stress you out. I know for sure that’s going to give me bad anxiety
if you KNOW that person ... ok why need a list ...
otherwise . give me hints n ill go from there

The surprise is whatever on the list they choose to get you !
I love giving out a wish list.
I don’t want to be having gifts I’m never going to use🤷🏼♀️
2:57 okay Adrienne, you don't have to do the matrix 😂

I have my list. Please stick to it. I will act surprise when I open the box. I know what I want just get it for me. Simple 🥳🥳
How does it take away from the surprise? I give you a list of a few ideas. Then, I'm surprised of what you chose from the list to get me.
I so agree with a list, specially when you have big family and you don’t much time for shopping.
I'm 100% with Adrienne. Especially when it's a secret Sant situation. I don't mind a surprise, but I'd rather gift people something they actually want.
Adrianne is one of those people who make me hate what Christmas has become.

I agree with Tam, but having a small list to fall back on can be helpful in some cases.
I love wish lists cause it helps me figure out what you like and want. I hate shopping so it helps me spend less time shopping and it’s easier
I think you should make a list for ideas not specific things. For example, I love things that smell good, you have a lot of options...candles, perfume, chicken lol. I think if you say what you want, it takes away the actual excitement of the unknown. So an idea list is good

Give me a list!!!!! I have a child to shop for. I don’t have time to figure out what you might want.
cant wait for thursday‘s episodes and Adrienne finally admit she was the Flamingo 🦩 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

I'll just take a gift card.... ANY place is fine, my peeps should already know I like to eat and shop.
I think the most courteous thing to do is to not be so entitled and giving people a wish list. I think asking for or expecting gifts is so wack. In my family we don’t do presents. We just use it as another reason to get together and eat really good.

Honestly it depends who it’s for. I can buy my sister a gifts and not even need a list. As for my Aunt or cousin I will need a long list of items to choose from lol.
I prefer the list. It's so much easier. It's hard when you have to be guessing what the person want
Loni:"oh here we go again"😂😂😂😂
I want Christmas wishlists from EVERYBODY for Christmas. I only want to get people things they want or need... speak for yourself
I’m like tamera. My bf was watching a laker game and said “those warm up sweaters are really cool” MEMORY ACTIVATED I was like “yeah they are” he never bought one so I’m getting him one for Christmas. The surprise is I’m getting our son a matching one! 🥰
Forget a gift list my family gets my textbook list for next semester because priorities lol.
I ain't mad at you. That's very smart.
I am with Tam in this I ain't giving you ideas girl not not an every day thing just slow down and give it a thought!!!
How about listen to people when they talk, that’s how I learned how to buy gifts. If you listen to what they like or what they mentioned before , maybe make a note , or buy it immediately. Either way a gift is a gift .
I have a wish list online. So, it helps my family to have ideas for Christmas and Birthdays.
If you give me something I don't like or need, I am regifting it to somebody else!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why not do both? Get something they wanted & a surprised one. I’m like Tamara. I love love giving, so I always give extra...even if it’s something small.
Make a list for everyone anyways - if they want to go rogue noone's stopping them! I'd be thankful either way, people are voluntarily spending their hard-earned money on me!
I’m at the point to where I don’t want people spending their hard earned money on something I’m not gonna like or use. I’ve hung on to things like that out of guilt, never use it, then eventually let go of it like 5 years down the road and STILL feel guilty for getting rid of it. Just get me something I need or want.
To me it doesn’t matter. Whatever works for each individual. If total “surprisement” works for you, then don’t make a list and let people surprise you, and if having a gift list works for you; make the list. But if lists aren’t for you; don’t get mad or act disrespectful when someone gifts you something you don’t like. That’s all I’m saying
A wish list takes away the fun of christmas. But honestly whoever is receiving a gift should be grateful that youre even considered to receive a gift. There are so many children who cant have xmas because they cant afford it. But some people out here having their kids making wish lists. Its ok to make wish lists. But really surprising them with what you can buy for them and teaching them to be grateful for what they get. I used to ask my kids what they want and they would tell me and I get it. Now I went back to getting them gifts and surprising them with it. Hell some people out here having they kids wishlist with the most expensive stuffs on it. Then ya gotta go out and bust ass to work hard and get the money to buy them that. Xmas really is the only time I allow my kids to go crazy on toys. Other than that if its not clothes,shoes,food or a necessity den no thank you
A Christmas list is a must honestly. Never doing the elephant gift exchange. I work for a doctors office and the manager regifted the gifts we gave her last year. I was extremely disappointed mad and confused. I cannot believe how cheap she is.
