Gift-Giving Research Says WHAT?!

Gift giving is one of the major subjects on our minds this time of year. To be a really successful “giver of gifts,” you may feel that you need to spend a lot of money... or come up with creative ideas all on your own without the assistance of your spouse.

Turns out that’s not the case! (Science even says so.)

Here are 3 surprising facts about gift giving:

1. Thoughtful gifts don’t necessarily lead to greater appreciation.

Some gift givers spend time and energy trying to find just the right gift. But studies have found that it's actually the gift giver who benefits most from giving a thoughtful gift! It causes them to feel a deeper sense of closeness to that person.

2. People are more appreciative when they receive a gift they have explicitly requested.

According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, “It turns out it’s not the thought that counts, it’s the gift that counts."

3. Spending more money on a gift doesn’t necessarily translate into greater appreciation.

Another study found spending more money on a gift doesn’t necessarily translate into greater appreciation.

So if you think you have to dream up giant sentimental gifts, crack the code without any help on what to get, or dish out a lot of dollars to be an outstanding gift giver this year—you don’t!

Today's Trivia Answer

Question: What percentage of married women say that they can have multiple orgasms in a given sexual encounter?

A. 25%

B. 45%

C. 65%

D. 85%

There isn't a lot of data on the topic of multiple orgasms (due to the private and self-reported nature), but approximately 45% of married women say that they can have multiple orgasms in a given sexual encounter. For married men, it's about 20%.

Everyone’s body, preferences, and experiences are different.

It’s not a competition about which spouse can have more orgasms, but it is important to open the conversation for growth in this area.

Having multiple orgasms isn't necessary something that will make your marriage better or worse, but let's not shy away from the topic!
