I'm just wondering why so many people will buy gifts for other people when they either think they won't like, or they'll never use.
Obviously it's a little different when you're buying things like souvenirs and you really have no idea whether they'll like it or not, but i'm talking about the christmas/birthday gift thing.
And why do SOOOOO many people return their gifts like, the day after christmas day?

people get satisfied by just giving a gift.this makes them feel that they have done a great deed.they don't think about other people's thoughts.they want to fulfill their duty of giving and they expect that the recipient of the gift will be satisfied with whatever they give.this is a mild form of ego present within everybody

I think, buying a gift with no thought, you should not buy a gift at all. Some people will buy/give anything just to say they did!

Cause xmas sucks man, that's why!
People feel obliged to buy something, anything, whatever it takes to be conventional and respect the "rules"...so boring....

i don't deliberatly buy something i think someone wont want or use. BUT, one thing i do do is usually buy a gift that i want myself
but, don't buy it for myself bacause i beleive its not necessary.
but, oooh how i wish it was mine.

Because it is on sale? Or they like it and assume you will. They return it because it ahh didn't fit right...
