Is monthly anniversary gifts over-doing it?

1 month anniversary gift
2 month anniversary gift

Gonna have to take a trip overseas for the 1 yr anniversary to top all that lol

Experience and efforts are so much more valuable

@BoobooSnafu you’re exactly right...it’s sweet experiences and not fancy gifts that we hold dear to our hearts many years later.
Yes. It quickly diminishes in significance, as does the bank account.
@BoobooSnafu Oh my...can only imagine the wicked divorce later!
@SethGreene531 hehe...they prolly can't afford it 🤷‍♀️
It's total bullshit.

Half the things we celebrate socially have been commercially introduced to train us to buy shit .

Like diamond engagement rings....used to be any ring....De Beers ran an ad campaigne for a while...and now - we all think it's tradition .
@cherokeepatti aye .
The world is losing its heart.

And you're right- youde bake a cake for new neighbours , andn it was a reason to sit down and have a cuppa and actually 'meet each other.

Now it's all damn 'virtual hugs' and crap.
I sometimes wonder what this path will take humanity to.

I mean, think about it....smart phones...a world of easy international communication and accumulated knowledge.:
...and we talk less , know less, and are more isolated than ever.

That makes NO SENSE !!!

@BoobooSnafu As introverted as I am, I miss being around people who don’t live here in my house. I want to talk to neighbors, and people at yard sales, and strike up chats with random people in grocery stores, go to a garden center or flea market and talk about seeds & plants, listen to some guys shoot the breeze at the lake or whatever. This has gotten old. I don’t think it’s all about social distancing & wearing a mask to stay safe, they want to stop us from communicating with each other...distancing us from others we may see occasionally and randomly.

@iamnikki I would too, it would be more meaningful and if the relationship lasted it would become something I’d hang on to for life.
I see this stuff all the time nowadays....

My first thought after I chuckle is usually "How insecure can she be if she is soliciting a monthly gift?"
@Threepio it's actually scary what some girls expect these days.

They want their guy to pay for their nails,facials,tanning,hair appointments ,clothes...and be given an allowance .

I kid you not : it's horrifying!
@BoobooSnafu ....and they say they "don't need" men...... LOL
@Threepio HAHAHAHAH....touché😆

Some people do that for the first year only.

Yes it is a bit much
!Its way too much😂
We would do anniversary sex for the month ones.....and gifts only for the actual years


Now I'm lucky to get a card 😅
That sounds exhausting

Take a trip. Get out of the norm. You'll be glad you did. ☺️
