A: To be honest, no. I don't agree with this. Now don't get me wrong, Friendship is indeed a very important and beautiful thing. Imo though, presents often represents the relationship to the other person who is being gifted by that present. I'm not saying that presents are bad or anything like that though, what I'm trying to say is that presents sometimes "can" be very.... unpleasant. Especially if a person dosen't really care about what he buys and just thinks like "Aslong as I have a present for the other person, it dosen't matter". I've experienced that myself often enough and... I have had thoughts like that once aswell.

Sure, you could say "It's the thoughts, that counts!"... but in the end you'll just be lying to yourself if you really liked the person, because you wouldn't say that in the first place if you could get a present for someone who really accepts and actually "likes" the present.

tl:dr I don't really agree with it. But I'm not really disagreeing either, it's pretty much neutral and could go either way.
