I do like getting it and giving it though...

I don't like giving gifts. The reason I don't like giving gifts is because I enjoy gift giving too much (hear me out, this makes sense in my head). Say something is coming up in the future that requires me to give a gift, I now have one of two options: I can get something I think is neat, or I can get something that is sure to be awesome. If I get something I think is neat then I spend the entire time before the gift is opened wanting to play with it and reading about it and imagining myself playing with it and then when I actually do give it to the person I basically ruin it for them because I tell them everything about it before they have a chance to open it. It then causes all types of friction between me and the recipient because I've essentially taken their gift away before I've given it to them. But if I get something that is sure to be awesome then I spend the entire time getting all excited about giving the gift and telling the recipient how awesome their gift is and then they are sure to be let down.

I guess that's why I like getting gifts better than giving them.
