Should gifts be limited to special occasions?

Should gifts be limited to special occasions?

By Miss Kes 

In the lines of dancehall artiste Alkaline, a man should spoil his woman. And while some do this on special occasions like birthdays and Valentine’s Day, others believe that they shouldn’t wait on a special occasion to let their women know how they feel.

Should gifts be limited to special occasions?

Kerrianne:

I believe a man should shower his woman with gifts to show her he appreciates her, and also to keep her happy. Some men even forget birthdays!

JJ:

These days no one believes in true love and romance. Some men don’t even give gifts on special occasions. It is really bad and sad when you look at the meaning of relationships these days. I do believe a good woman should be spoiled almost every day.

Jody:

I am not going to brag, but my man does ensure that I feel special. It is really the little things that shows character. My man does small acts of love like cooking me dinner, and setting up an in-house spa in which he massages me after a long day at work. I am really spoiled and it has never been limited from the day we started our relationship.

Michael:

People base love on vanity and that is ridiculous! A gift doesn’t mean someone loves you and if he doesn’t give you one, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. Love is love and vanity is vanity.
