What Kind of Gift Giver Are You?

Picking out gifts mostly involves thinking of other people, but the stuff you give away also reveals aspects of your own personality. Take this quiz to find out what the gifts you give say about you.

You're going to a party with a grab bag. Everyone's supposed to bring a $10 present and take a different present home. You spend:

$20. I want my gift to be nicer than the other ones.
$10 on materials to make a one-of-a-kind picture frame.
nothing. I'll bring the holiday socks my grandma gave me — they're still in the package.
hours searching the mall. It's so hard to buy a gift for a total stranger.
$10 on something silly, like a talking PEZ dispenser.
$5, but it's okay, because I found something good on sale.

What's your least favorite thing to unwrap?

Anything personalized or monogrammed
Overpriced designer stuff that I didn't want or need
Something I could've easily bought for myself at the mall
Boring necessities, like plain underwear
Stuff that feels generic, like it wasn't bought with me in mind
Cheap junk that looks like it's from a dollar store

When you give someone a gift, what's the typical response?

"Wow, this must've cost a fortune!"
"Wow, you really know me."
"Wow, you made that yourself?"
"Umm... thanks?"
"Thanks. It's an... uh... interesting gift."
Uncontrollable laughter

Which describes a T-shirt you might give as a gift?

I added the iron-on myself.
There's a designer name on the tag.
I'd never wear it, but it's still cute.
It makes strangers smile.
You'd never guess how cheap it was!
I considered lots of options before I picked this one.

What kind of relationship do you have with your hair?

I think my stylist really understands me (or I'm trying to find one who does).
I have a weakness for 99-cent shampoo and $10 haircuts.
I change my hairstyle a lot, and I like when people notice.
We don't have a strong emotional connection. When it grows, I get it cut.
I give it special treatment, like buying expensive products and going to a fancy salon.
I'll cut it or dye it myself if I'm in the right mood.

Would you ever give someone a gift card?

Only as a last minute back-up gift, if I didn't have time to find something better.
Only if I knew he/she really wanted one.
Sure. If I get one for a store I don't like, I'll pass it along to someone else.
I might, if I didn't know the person well, but real presents are more fun.
No, because they'll see the amount and know exactly how little I spent.
No, because they'll see the amount and feel weird if they spent less.

How do you feel about putting a cheap thing in a box from a fancy store?

A box is just a box. It's not like I'm promising the gift came from there.
I'd try to avoid it, because the person might realize the truth and feel let down.
I'd probably do it. And if the person thinks I spent a lot on their gift, that's cool.
I might put a toy ring in a jewelry store box, but only to be funny.
That's mean and misleading.
I'd probably decorate the box to cover up the store's logo, so it wouldn't be a problem.

Do you think it's okay to give old or used stuff as a present?

Yes, if it's something strange. I like surprising people.
Depends. If it's vintage, maybe. If it's just old, that's inconsiderate.
I think it's okay, if you personalize it somehow or explain why you chose it.
As long as the recipient can't tell it was used, who cares?
If you used it already, that's no good. If you unwrapped it, but didn't use it, that's fine.
I don't care if something's old or not. When I find the perfect gift, I just know.

Would you ever give someone a pen as a gift?

Maybe, if the person collects cool pens, and I found a neat one.
Sure, if I got one from someone else and didn't want it.
I might give someone a nice drawing pen and a sketchbook.
Maybe, if it's silver or something, and seems really special.
That sounds kinda cheap, even for me. But, hey, why not?
Yes, if it's the kind where the person gets naked when you hold it upside down.

How do you feel about giving edible gifts?

Peanut butter? Bad gift. Gourmet chocolate? Good gift.
If the person doesn't like it, they can always share it with someone else.
Homemade cookies are the yummiest thing on earth.
Food is boring... except when it's shaped like something sexy.
Food's okay as a gift, especially if I buy that food on sale.
I only buy food as a gift if I know the person's favorite flavors.
