I think we need to keep this thread fresh for a bit given that Virgo bdays are fast approaching.

Little was discussed in regards to this in general the previous, most recent post (although the OP's choice sounds rather tantalizing for both parties 🙂).

Anyway, thinking about sun signs and gift giving, I would think that I fit the mold - if you're going to give me a gift (and I really don't like gifts as I hate surprises) please give me something I can use; I gawked at the $ 1,200 braclet my ex cancer gave me - what the hell was I to do with that and it cost way too much money (I even left it - along with all the jewelry he gave me - when I moved out), alas I digress... my point is, there is probably a pattern among specific sun signs.

Likewise, given that I appreciate utilitarian gifts, I tend to give gifts in general that are practical. (Although I have been known to put together scavenger hunts for gift giving to make it interesting and wrap myself up for Christmas in ribbons and bows as well as a Ms. Santa outfit 😛)

Keeping with what would fit the mold, would the practicality of a gift be more important to a Virgo vs the entertainment value? Thoughtful, heartfelt and creative can come out of either. BTW, even though men may enjoy it, I see gifts revolving around sex (e.g., dressing up, role playing, etc.) as fun, but of little value otherwise.

I would like to see more in-depth thought/discussion on Virgo gift giving...

Woah, a $ 1,200 bracelet? Yeah...wow...

I mean, it's the wonderful thought that counts, but wow--he could have taken you away for a romantic weekend, complete w/lobster dinner for that amount, lol.

All I want for my birthday is a simple little gift, and I hope my friends can deliver? I promised to share it with them...

Little Mr. Eric Northman, from True Blood...with a bow wrapped around his...well...😉





Yes, Lord...

Listen to him......u will find out what he needs just by listening to him carefully. Get what he "needs" and he will really appreciate that! My virguy is into small electronic gagdets but they can be expensive and I certainly can not afford it. He's mentioned that he needs to get an ipod (the classic one) when he's saved up. I did not have enough money to pay for the ipod touch ( I told him ipod touch has a lot more practical functions) so I told him that lets split the cost and this will be his bday gift. He was more than happy when he got the ipod (it was an early gift). He wouldn't stop telling me how much he loved the ipod.

Most I've hear out of him is he needs money (he doesn't, he just says it and asks to borrow it from me; I have no clue as to why). Otherwise, he has indicated that he could use an electric razor upon me asking if he had one on a day he was extremely busy and was saying he had to shave... :/ I suggested a GPS at one point because he asked me to reroute him on a trip and he seemed to get offended... so, I guess, that's off the table.

The beenie baby company makes a "Secretariat" bennie baby... I'm going to get one of those for him (his fav racehorse - best racehorse in history!! Can't argue w/ him there...), but still unsure of what else.

Learned my lesson the hard way last year. Spent lots of money on what I thought was a great gift only to realize after giving it to him that what he really wanted was about a fifth of the amount I'd spent. And being a lover of bdays & believer in making the bday boy happy, I ended up buying the thing he really wanted too. Determined to not make the same mistake twice, I played a little riddle game with him last week just to try to figure out if what I had planned on getting was what he wanted. Of course I realized we weren't on the same page, but it's all good because what I was looking at, when compared to what he wants, is about the same price. Although I thought my gift idea was cool & thoughtful, what he wants is totally practical and well, virgo. So that's what he'll get...along with me in a bow with my newly learned pole dancing/lap dance tricks (okay maybe not a bow, perhaps clear heels, hmmm).

the Virgo's I've known were all pragmatic people; a lot like I am at times. What I've found is that if you really pay attention to a Virgo, you can see what he/she likes by what hobbies/activities they do. By doing this, you can easily determine the things they are fond of. Gift giving then becomes easy.

For example, one of the Virgos I knew well gave me an engraved (with my name on it) gold cross pen. It was obvious that he enjoyed writing, and so do I. It was a very thoughtful gift as it represented some very fond memories etc. And it wasn't overly expensive; it was a very tasteful gift that I still cherish to this day. In return, when I had to think of a gift for him, that cross pen came back to mind. So I purchased a gift in kind with his name on it and gave it to him. He loved it and understood the depth of the meaning behind it.

Often in today's society, people get so hung up in the how much they can spend for someone they love or care about. To me, it's not about the money. It's about the thought behind the gift. The best gifts I've given took thought and preparation. It's not about buying something "i would necessarily like", it's about knowing what would put a smile on the face of the guy/girl receiving the gift. If a smile comes naturally, then you know you nailed it because they felt it in their heart. And those are the best gifts of all.
