Then I followed the link and I came to this earlier post.But I think it 's not always the case. For example do you prefer receiving a present from someone who tells you:"I love you, and I bought you this present because you really deserve that." , or someone who tells you:"I bought this present for no reason. just like that!" I personally like the first one better because it makes me feel great about myself, but in the second case I might even feel bad! because the present could be given to any other person, so it 's nothing special!
