I'm with Lefty on this one, I've been with my bf longer and I honestly don't get the whole hoo haaa.

If we were married or engaged, maybe my view would change, idk, guess we just don't put much stock into gift giving, stuff is just stuff.

Now if you're aiming for them to form a relationship of some sort, an activity is a much better bet than a gift, gifts can be seen as bribery and corruption, sucking up to the kiddos for banging the mommy.

Idk, just my POV.
