I think it depends. Some people suck at giving gifts and need guidance while some people are really good at remembering what another person might like 🤷🏻♀️
And me. I love surprising ppl. Close friends and family, please, I know what you like. I’m with tam. If you’re asking for gifts, you are missing the point.
Tamera’s make up is banging! They need to show tutorials on their smokey eye looks bc their makeup be looking so good! Looks I’ve never seen on UA-cam from makeup gurus.
I’m LITERALLY so confused as to how a wish list takes away the spirit of Christmas... when a child tells Santa what they want , they end up getting the present and thank who ? Santa... they’re not gonna be like “ oh wow... Santa actually got me the gift I wanted , I needed to be surprised “ like the only way it takes the fun or spirit away is when you wanna emphasize and make such a HUGE DEAL of wanting to be surprised !
My daughter never wrote a wish list to Santa😢😢 she would say " I already asked Santa when I prayed".. I had to guess or take her to the store to see what she got excited with lol...she is 12 now and still wont write a wish list.... All I want is a wish list lol would make my Shopping so much better.
Myronn Coleman You said it a child. Children get really excited that Santa actually “exist”. And for adults you need to be thankful you get something if not then don’t celebrate and buy yourself the things you want instead of buying someone a $200 gift. Once you make your own money buy it yourself and don’t expect anyone to know what you really like.
I agree with Tam and Adrienne. If you’re a picky person I would much rather a list form you but at the same time I pay attention to every conversation I have with someone so that helps with getting a sentimental gift. I will say I do agree with Tam because growing up I always made a Christmas list and I never got what I asked for because we were poor so In a way it gave me false hope. Honestly it depends on you🤷🏽♀️
When u have broke friends that list won’t matter, you’ll get jewelry from Walmart rather than Tiffany or Kay. I rather not set myself up for the disappointment, plus sentimental gifts and the art of surprise works out better, some times you end up getting things that you didn’t even remember that you needed.
I absolutely disagree. *getting people gifts they didn't ask for is actually wasteful for the environment and a strong waste of money* Nowadays people work extremely hard for the bottom dollar... don't have someone waste money on a gift that you might throw out later or we'll never use. *it's always best to give someone several ideas that vary in price range so that they can pick the gift that's most comfortable for them* and you'll get something that you'll actually use/want* I'm in my twenties, our lives are so busy nowadays *communication is important even when it comes to gifts* ♡
As you get older you really don't want anything and are just grateful for what you got.At least for me,I'm 28 and stopped caring about gifts years ago.To me Christmas is just another day except for having the message of the true meaning. I want to give gifts IF I can but these days there's just no time so cards are really just what people want and appreciate more. I've personally have had a hard year and have not been able to get into the 'holiday spirit' I've tried but haven't even wanted to decorate my Christmas tree or do cookies.Instead my parents did that. They're asking so hard what do I want and I just don't want anything but peace,quiet,and just have a day. Idk maybe it's just me but the older you get the harder it is sometimes to have the same feeling as when you were younger.
I haven't decorated in years. And I'm a Grinch I guess because I haven't bought my kids anything for Christmas either in a good while because they get something throughout the year *All* the time.
Same girl same. It’s family who makes it harder especially if you don’t want to celebrate anymore or have outgrown the tradition. As you get older you just want to stay home and start your own traditions. Watching Christmas movies and eating whatever is in the fridge lol
I agree with Tamera. I love giving gifts. I love taking the time to think about what someone would like, and I love seeing their face when they open the gift.
I agree with Tamera. The fun part about gift giving for Christmas or Secret Santa is _surprising_ someone with a gift. It's just not the same when you already know what you are going to receive
I’m with Adrienne on this one. I understand the element of surprise and it’s more sentimental and personal getting something you didn’t ask for or expect but money is tight and things are expensive, I’d rather spend my money on something that person will really love and something that won’t go to waste.
I think for work holiday party’s where there is a secret Santa going on then yes a list is great. For close family and friends no, you should already know what your family wants/ needs. And it’s amazing when you open something and remember the moment you shared you wanted that with them.
I agree with Tamera that’s the joy of Christmas being thoughtful if not it just becomes a consumer vile like I checked you off my list there’s no love involved
Tamera don't remember getting those earings because Adrienne gifted them to Tamar lol whenever they be talk about season one they have to be very careful lol
I keep a running "gift ideas" list throughout year for all my people, so when the holidays or birthdays come around I can look back and have options / ideas quickly.
If someone ASKS for the list give it to them... if they don't, don't give it to them. I have people that always ask, so I send them my Pinterest board... but its awkward to send your pinterest board to someone who doesn't ask.
My family always have done lists so I don't have any problem with it, it is still a joy to get someone what they want and can still be a surprise. The worst part is giving somebody something they don't like or won't use. Also some people are just so hard to buy for for various reasons. I do love to pick out a gift or two that I heard someone saying they want or when somebody gets me something I forgot I mentioned that I need/want, but that's not always possible. I have a horrible time trying to find something for my brother, but my mom on the other hand; she is so easy for me to buy presents. Lol. It is hard for me to come up with a list each year, but I'm still excited when I get that something I might even expect to get...
I definitely agree with Adrienne. Nobody got the time to think deep about a gift.That’s going to stress you out. I know for sure that’s going to give me bad anxiety
I did the wish list once and my friend didn’t even give me what I asked for. I choose reasonable stuff and instead she gave me box of mint chocolates. I hate mint in chocolate lol turns out she liked them and figured I would. 😑 and guess what I got her? What she asked for on her damn wish list lol wish lists are only for people who are willingly to give. If not your on your own or just ask me lol
i think for most people i would definitely just want a list. it makes my life a lot easier but for someone I really cared about like my children or partner i would want to suprise them with the things theyd want not feel like they had to tell me what they wanted.
I will gladly hand over a full wish list, hoping I get everything. 😆❤❤. I think it depends on how well you know the person. I will say having a list is the way to go.
I agree with Adrienne, yet my family and my fiance get upset when I send a group txt with my Christmas list gifts from $25-$$$😂🤣🤣 I'm just making sure I will love the gift I get and not get something that I probably won't use and you wasted your money.on something I dont really like. They say it takes away from the Christmas spirit and the joy of the mystery of the gift.
I liked surprises when I was a kid but as I got older I realized people buy me things I don't like or want or need lol. Over the past few years my sister has been asking me what I want due to the past experiences. I usually give her a list of items from different price range and it's up to her pick whatever in her budget. I'm happy and she's happy that I'm happy.
I hate to say it i hope I don't sound ridiculous but I agree with Tam lol...to me gift-giving isn't about you just getting me what I want (I can do that for myself) but its about giving me something from your heart that you want me to have..thats what makes it special.😊😊
Wishlists are a must. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want stuff, and if there is an item I need, I will have usually already bought it for myself. If you want to be surprised, be broad. Usually, my list would be like: socks, coffee beans, art, workout clothes, etc. There's still a lot of variety this way, you can give clothing sizes, and the people that know you will find stuff that fit your tastes. If you wanna be surprised, you can still give guidelines.
A wish list is so much better it’s exhausting to try and figure out what people want. Spontaneous gifts are nice but I like to know what people want lol.
Why not do both? Get a couple of things from their list that you know they really want or need, and get a couple surprises. And usually if it's a family member or friend you coordinate with others around them so they can end up getting most of the things from their list.
I completely agree with tam. Wish lists take away from the joy. A wish list for kids is fine because there is so much to keep up with when it comes to toys.
Im 10000% with Loni and Adrienne on this one...hit me with a list. I like lists.They take the stress out of the equation and everyone will be happy with the result. Win win💯
A wish list is great also you can still give them something that’s not on the list that you know they would enjoy. It definitely helps & will make shopping so much easier. Do y’all see the way these stores been around the holidays?? Aww naw. if all else fails give a gift card or some money 🤷🏽♀️
yep . istarted givin gift cards/money (from stores they liked go buy) couple years ago .. like uhm YOU buy what YOU want/need cause .im done looking at face of disapoinment wen the other person receives a gift they didnt like (n no .ido not give bad presents ..)
I think you should make a list for ideas not specific things. For example, I love things that smell good, you have a lot of options...candles, perfume, chicken lol. I think if you say what you want, it takes away the actual excitement of the unknown. So an idea list is good
I'm 100% with Adrienne. Especially when it's a secret Sant situation. I don't mind a surprise, but I'd rather gift people something they actually want.
My friends and I just choose a nice place and we all dress up and go together and we talk about how we appreciate each other and say merry Christmas - we don’t exchange gifts it’s too difficult and it’s not the meaning of Christmas- it’s better to form memories but my mom and my sis and just tell each other what we want under 50$ it makes life super simple and it’s better than wasting money on things the person doesn’t really want
There are a lot of people who don't have the money to make purchases for themselves throughout the year, so wish lists really help ensure that these people receive the items they really need.
Honestly it depends who it’s for. I can buy my sister a gifts and not even need a list. As for my Aunt or cousin I will need a long list of items to choose from lol.
I go for a mixture I try to listen through the year and gift something as a surprise and depending on the price of the am surprise gift I’ll try to get something off there list too :)
A wish list is better that way you don't waiste money on something that they don't like or need. It takes alot of time and is alot of stress to think of a great gift. Atleast having a general ideas what the person wants is better. It's better than having to fake excitement and feeling bad if you don't like the gift.
A wishlist is one of the MAIN things of Christmas. Children write down a list for Santa to give them exactly what they want... It's the exact same thing. It's one of the MAIN joys of Christmas
Why not do both? Get something they wanted & a surprised one. I’m like Tamara. I love love giving, so I always give extra...even if it’s something small.
One time I spent a lot of money on a gift for my friend that I found out later on she already had. That’s when I realized having a wish list is the way to go.
"Surprise, I spent my money"
😂😂😂
Adrienne kills me.
I think it depends. Some people suck at giving gifts and need guidance while some people are really good at remembering what another person might like 🤷🏻♀️
Cantika Gaspersz yasss I completely agree 👏🏻
Very true. good gift givers should keep doing what they do...and the bad one should request a list, lol.
I'm the first person. I really appreciate wish lists.
Nobody:
Tam: Seriously, you guys.
And me. I love surprising ppl. Close friends and family, please, I know what you like. I’m with tam. If you’re asking for gifts, you are missing the point.
Haha shes so sweet
"Surprise! I spent my money" LOL
Tamera’s make up is banging! They need to show tutorials on their smokey eye looks bc their makeup be looking so good! Looks I’ve never seen on UA-cam from makeup gurus.
Her whole look is beautiful.
I’m LITERALLY so confused as to how a wish list takes away the spirit of Christmas... when a child tells Santa what they want , they end up getting the present and thank who ? Santa... they’re not gonna be like “ oh wow...

I had to guess or take her to the store to see what she got excited with lol...she is 12 now and still wont write a wish list.... All I want is a wish list lol would make my Shopping so much better.
You read my mind. I feel the same way.
Have we become so spoiled that if you don't get something you want IN A GIFT, we get mad!!!
Ohh Lord 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

You said it a child. Children get really excited that Santa actually “exist”.

I'm literally obsessed with Tam and Ade's glow this season 😍😍😍
“Surprise I Spent My Money!” 👏🏾😂 Facts!
🗣🗣Adrienne looks so beautiful!! Her make up and dark brown hair is gorgeous!! 💕💕
Ade be living in a parallel universe or something LMFAO
*happy holidays to everyone reading this* ✨✨✨
Thank you and same to you
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to you and your family too.
SKYY LOVE thank you 🥰 you too
Happy Holidays!!
You too happy hokidays

Exactly
How about being appreciative that u got something and the person thought of you.
Can we stop obsessing over what gift to buy someone and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season💕🎄💕
Facts! Mannn so many people have became material beings. People have forgot how to step away from all these presents...
Thank You!
Jesus is not real
@@doctormanhattan4522 I hope you don't celebrate Christmas with that attitude.
Gail A. He’s not real
I hear both of their sides. they both right
My wish list is easy. Just give me money
😂😂Literally
Istg 🤣🤣😈😁
I absolutely disagree. *getting people gifts they didn't ask for is actually wasteful for the environment and a strong waste of money*

“Surprise I spent my money!”🤣🤣🤣
Tiffany?
Louis Vuitton?
Can’t relate. 😏
2020 vision 😄😄
Tiffany and Co, Louis Vitton?? I NEED ADRIENNE AS A FRIEND
I always forget what’s on my list so I’m still surprised on Christmas lmao

I agree with Tamera. I love giving gifts. I love taking the time to think about what someone would like, and I love seeing their face when they open the gift.
As soon as I turned 12 I stopped receiving gifts and I’m 18 now 😂😂😂 I either get money or I get nothing at all
Lonis “HERE WE GO” 🤣🤣🤣
I'm with Tam. I love the surprise of Christmas!
I DO agree with Tamera 100%, however this year I had so much going on having a list was SO helpful. On a regular year, I would love to just surprise.
I agree with Tamera, it takes away the getting excited to open your gift when you already know what it is
I agree with Tamera. The fun part about gift giving for Christmas or Secret Santa is _surprising_ someone with a gift. It's just not the same when you already know what you are going to receive
I am loving Adrienne’s look ❤️ the dress, the hair, that color ! She’s looking AMAZING

Mhm they changed the subject real quick
Adrienne was so far up Tamar's ass season 1, I think you might be right.
To me as a young girl that was one of the funnest parts of Christmas.. making that list!!!
I'm with Adrienne! Preach!
I keep a running "gift ideas" list throughout year for all my people, so when the holidays or birthdays come around I can look back and have options / ideas quickly.
I so agree with a list, specially when you have big family and you don’t much time for shopping.
I love giving out a wish list.
I don’t want to be having gifts I’m never going to use🤷🏼♀️
The surprise is whatever on the list they choose to get you !
Happy holidays to everyone reading this.....God bless you🌲❄️

Just be thankful whatever you get
I agree with Tam, but having a small list to fall back on can be helpful in some cases.
Adrienne looking sooo fine. You go girl❤️
Tam, as a fellow Cancer, I agree it takes away the joy
I’m a cancer too and I disagree.
It depends on who it is. I spend a lot of time thinking of gifts for my boyfriend and best friend because like tam says I love to see their reaction
Wishlists are a must. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want stuff, and if there is an item I need, I will have usually already bought it for myself. If you want to be surprised, be broad.

I love wish lists cause it helps me figure out what you like and want. I hate shopping so it helps me spend less time shopping and it’s easier
I have my list. Please stick to it. I will act surprise when I open the box. I know what I want just get it for me. Simple 🥳🥳

I agree with Adrienne and Loni.
I think the list is great because it gives ideas about what the person wants but I personally prefer a surprise.

I'll just take a gift card.... ANY place is fine, my peeps should already know I like to eat and shop.
2:57 okay Adrienne, you don't have to do the matrix 😂
I am with Tam in this I ain't giving you ideas girl not not an every day thing just slow down and give it a thought!!!
why not just get them something from their wishlist and something else from the heart & thoughtful 🤷🏻♀️
off topic (sorta)
at birthdays .i just call the person .tell them get ready im a pick them up ... in car i ask what they want/where to go
Jeannie looks amazing
I have a wish list online. So, it helps my family to have ideas for Christmas and Birthdays.
We do Christmas lists with my husbands fam 1,2 & 3 and prefer it!
Keep the list so you know what the want some people are hard to shop for any days of the years
I agree with Tamera! 💚💚
It takes the joy definitely away
Adrienne is cracking me up today 🤣💀🖐🏼
There are a lot of people who don't have the money to make purchases for themselves throughout the year, so wish lists really help ensure that these people receive the items they really need.
Honestly it depends who it’s for. I can buy my sister a gifts and not even need a list. As for my Aunt or cousin I will need a long list of items to choose from lol.
I agree with Tamera!!
I go for a mixture I try to listen through the year and gift something as a surprise and depending on the price of the am surprise gift I’ll try to get something off there list too :)
Agree with Tam 💯
How does it take away from the surprise? I give you a list of a few ideas. Then, I'm surprised of what you chose from the list to get me.
I love Tamera’s outfit ✨ Sparklyyy
A wish list is better that way you don't waiste money on something that they don't like or need. It takes alot of time and is alot of stress to think of a great gift. Atleast having a general ideas what the person wants is better. It's better than having to fake excitement and feeling bad if you don't like the gift.
I totally agree with Tamera
A wishlist is one of the MAIN things of Christmas. Children write down a list for Santa to give them exactly what they want... It's the exact same thing. It's one of the MAIN joys of Christmas
Jeannie with the coffee machine....i guess for her its not the thought that counts!!!!
Why not do both? Get something they wanted & a surprised one. I’m like Tamara. I love love giving, so I always give extra...even if it’s something small.
One time I spent a lot of money on a gift for my friend that I found out later on she already had. That’s when I realized having a wish list is the way to go.
To make everyone happy, just buy one from their list and one you pick out on your own!
