How are Virgo's with receiving gifts???

This topic was created in the Virgo forum by TheLioness79 on Friday, April 12, 2013 and has 24 replies.
Man, I am going through withdraw. I have not spoken to my friend since early this afternoon. I left him alone figuring it was Friday, he was getting out early, he most likely would want to do things with his kids and there are other things going on in his life. I am not asking if he likes me or what not. Just saying I am missing him and going through withdraw from not talking to him. Typically i would have already by now. But I am not going to contact him. Most likely he will contact me sometime tomorrow morning. Anywoo.
He has been talking about a lot of back tension and pain in his back. He has started an exercise program recently to build muscle mass. Plus stress from work, buying a home and getting ready to move and his kids so he has been uncomfortable. I did give him a good one this past weekend and he enjoyed it, yeah for me.
He is such a kind person and gives of himself selfishly. I brought him a gift certificate as a gift as my appreciation for all he have done for me emotionally. His problem, he has no one who has every taken care of him. My lioness in me wants to take care of him in every aspect of his life even if we stay friends zoned. He should be able to get a couple of sessions ou t of them. I just addressed it to him as To: An Amazing Person from me. In the body of the gift certificate:
I never knew anyone who gave of themselves so purely, rather it be for
your family, children or friends. Those who give of themselves so
selflessly to others never do for themselves. Take this, make the time and do for you. You deserve it!!
It was delivered to his email and he prolly hasn't seen it yet. I just wanted to show my gratefulness for him helping me through this difficult time in my life, Was this to extreme or could this freeze me out? Even though I didn't put my name down, i am positive he will know it came from me.

We don't really expect gifts, unless of course, it's some holiday or birthday. If we recieve a gift out of the blue, we'll end up questioning why the person gave us a gift instead of just being thankful - This could lead to over analyzing.

Thank you for replying. This is exactly what I was afraid of. Over analyzing, instead of accepting a gift of appreciation.

It's the Virgo mind, we tend to read between the lines instead of just seeing "what it is".

Yes, that I understand and threw it back it forth rather I should or shouldn't. But said fuck it. I am a Leo and he is so important to me and has done to much for me. He has been allowed into that inner circle that so few are allowed. I would do anything for him and he needs to take of himself. I expect nothing in return as he has given me so much through his selfless friendship to me.

No idea what you got him but...make sure it is something that he loves genuine. Like if he likes Jimi Hendrix, make sure you get him a Curtis Knight and Jimi Hendrix 33 or 45 record. Winking only then will he be swooning for you.


I got him a GC enough for several sessions of a massage. He always talks about how he has never had anyone take care of him. Whereas, all I want it to take care of him. He has mentioned several times the need of a massage with his heavy work out and stress he is usually very tight in his muscles. Since I am not close enough to give it to him personally, I though the gift would help him take care of himself.
I will take note of giving a gift her will love genuine.

Since he did mention that to you, what he prolly ment was he wanted you to massage him. If I told you that, that would be what I would want for you to do it only. But you did he him a gc for it so the underlying meaningfullness is still there; as in you did listen to him with most women fail at. Winking


We live about 3.5 hrs apart from each other. I did see him last weekend, and did give him a massage, and trust me I told him, if I was close. Yeah that would be no problem. I love feeling the contours of his body it is amazing. So since I can't be there due to distance, I thought the GC was the next best thing.

He's also being subtle on clueing you in on other wants also. Like be around after a workout because you never know what may happen and may be your chance.


Again, remember distance. He has spoken to me about me working out with me. But he loves to tease me with telling me he is shower after workouts. Damn him. He has already told me, I think to much like him in certain matters.... Winking

Not my guy yet. Maybe one day, still friends. I am not ready for it yet, nor is he for any relationship. But I am laying the ground work, and hopefully successfully. Yes, we do love to spoil or guys. Winking

Giving him sweet gifts & massages are surely going to help you get him!! Lol Winking
My ex was a Leo & he constantly gave me thoughtful gifts...Like often! I didn't over analyze them like many other virgos would...I treasured them & took good care of them. I'm sure your friend appreciates everything you do for him. Don't second guess anything smile

I am not materialistic, but if you are deemed that special to me, I will go to all lengths for you. I will do for you to make sure you are happy. We are considered haughty and leaders, but what most don't realize, if you have made it to that place for us, we become slaves to make sure you are happy and taken care of. That is where I am with him. I want to him to be happy. I want to take care of him, as he has never had a woman take care of him before. (I have heard the stories) I want to show him the softer side of a relationship and how someone can give to him so selflessly as he does to them. Even if it means it is not me in the end. But there is woman who will be that for him. I have no doubt he would take care of that person he deems important to him. It is just hard to read if I am building something that one day could be something so good or we are just forever friends. Until that day comes and he has made everything clear, I will continue to give myself to him in a manner that he understand Love doesn't equate pain, even if it is someone else he ends up with. I really just want him to be happy.

Thank You Rapaunzel!! Very sweet of you. You are correct about us Leo's when it comes to those we really care about or Love. We Leo's are not to different from Virgo in many aspect we just approach things differently. smile I had it sent to his work email address last night, I was afraid he wouldn't get it at the one I sent to. I think mainly used that email to communicate with me. Since we moved to another medium he doesn't get into that often.
I got a text at some point this morning after we talked some: Did you send me a massage?
I played a little. Huh? Massage?
His response, yea, for a GC in my email. Said anonymous. I replied: Awww, someone feels you deserve it. Then a couple mintues later I sent a Wink.
He told TY and I was so sweet. I told hi, no thank you for everything you have done for me by being there for me especially these last few months and what I have been going through. He said I really shouldn't have but thank you very very very much with a big smile, Told him i know, but it is the type of person I am. He really did deserve it.
Hopefully I have another +1 in my court with him.

From experience, my Virgo friend really enjoys pseudo spontaneous gifts, as in I told him he would be receiving a package from where, around when, therefore he has a somewhat expectation of it, a prepared mind frame to receive it. Usually this relieves him of his over analytical tendencies, or at least by the time it arrives at his doorsteps he has but depleted all his energy thinking, so he is just glad to have a present. Keep it genuine, simple, useful to a degree, but with a personal touch, they really do appreciate that extra effort, Virgos are detail orientated remember? Tongue

Hmmm, interesting. I was afraid of him over analyzing it. I am the type that do things out of the blue with an element of surprise. I guess I see that as being genuine and shows you really care. But I am the same with over analyzing and detail orientated, but I use those skills with my acumen skills to see the big picture. But that attention detail and picking up the things that are important to a person helps me do things for them that are meaningful and from the heart.

TheLioness, they do over analyze but it does not mean they are a kill joy, they still enjoy moments of spontaneity and surprises, but they do not appreciate such huge ones where they would be embarrassed in public, presenting a gift is private enough and thoughtful. It could simply be a post card, or his favorite candle, etc. it does not have to be big, it might be something that he often uses but might be depleting in resources at the moment, this shows you have paid attention to his routine, his likes and dislikes, but please please please be very particular in getting the correct brand, size, etc. or they would not be 'as' pleased as if you really 'nailed' it down.
I hope that would help some what and happy hunting for the present smile

Thanks LadyScorpio! It was a GC for massages. I had it sent to his email. I am a private person myself and would feel embarrassed myself if it was showy and in public. You have given some great insight for future "gifts", stuff that is practical and uses on a regular basis, and most important, pay attention to the details.

useful thread! A virgo friend of me is leaving for 6 weeks summer holidays to Greece soon. Want to give him a little pressie since he's been so thoughtful and nice for me as well. Now, he told me this hilarious story where he was at the beach in Greece, went for a sim, along came people that cleaned the beach (it was an organized beach) and apparently they had thrown away his tanning lotion. He was outrageous, went to the little office and demanded his lotion back. To cut a long story short, he had them go through the garbage for an hour, standing next to it and making them find his specific bottle of lotion... only to throw it away afterwards because it was smudged with coffee and ice cream lol.
Sooo, my thought of a gift was a bottle of sun lotion. I remember the brand he told me, so would buy the same brand, and then sticking some funny label on it saying somethin like ' don't think of touching this ' in Greek (we both speak and read Greek although not being Greek).
Would that be a good idea? Something a virguy might appreciate?

any thoughts on my above post? Or would it be just be boring? Just wanna give him a gift, not for the purpose of the gift, but to show him I care for him and think of him. it has to be somewhat funny, not something deeply romantic/expensive etc...

thanks flirt! Will work my mind on it.
