As Tuoi Tre reports: Every year on March 8, questions like this arise on forums: Should or should not one give gifts to one's wife or lover? Is it enough to give a small, symbolic gift or should the value of the gift be higher to show the giver's heart?

Some women even freely show off online that they received phones, watches, rings, or received transfers of tens of millions...

To add another perspective, the Readers make newspapers column introduces some opinions from insiders.

Men speak up

I am a man, I think March 8th and October 20th are just formalities. But in return, I cherish my mother, my wife 365 days a year.

I finish work and go home to my children, don’t drink, and when I go out with friends, I always bring my wife and children along to show off whenever possible. If that’s the case, do you think I need to remember March 8 or October 20?

If I had to choose between hanging out with my friends 363 days a year like the men you see or taking care of the people I love 365 days a year, I would choose the latter.

Please don’t lump people like me together with men who like to show off on holidays to follow the trend. There are many ways to express love, it’s not necessary to give flowers and gifts on March 8 or October 20.

Men never regret anything for women, with enough love and fullness they will know how to make women happy.

But women should not put pressure on men just because they want to live a virtual life or show off. When pressured, men will reluctantly cope, and from there, true happiness will be lost.

Giving gifts to follow trends and show off, women may not like it

In general, gifts and ceremonies should be given in the right place and not for show. Not everyone wants to receive gifts that are bought at exorbitant prices, not everyone wants to receive so-called gifts or flowers from people they are not close to.

I say that because I had some unpleasant experiences in some extracurricular classes, a few times I didn't notice that it was March 8 and October 20 so I still went to class as usual (before that I never went to class on these days).

A man bought a box of flowers and gave each woman a branch and forced them to take pictures for him to post on Facebook.

Honestly, I didn't want to accept and didn't want to be on camera so I stood far away in the corner of the room while they did the ceremony, but the ladies kept nagging at me, dragging me out as if I was a sinner without asking my opinion.

Business people want to boost sales based on crowds and public opinion for the holidays, but gift givers need to understand the nature of the person they intend to give the gift to, and not follow trends to be like everyone else or stand out from everyone else, that would look very strange.

There are 365 days in a year, you can give gifts any day and you have to understand the person you are giving the gift to based on respect and understanding, not necessarily waiting for a holiday to give a gift.

March 8 and October 20 are not just for wives and lovers

In my opinion, March 8 or October 20 is not just for wives, lovers... but is a common day for women.

Recently, reading the newspaper often mentions that men worry about giving expensive gifts, as well as the endless hesitation and thinking about what to give their wives and lovers on these days.

In my opinion, men should take advantage of these days to express their actions and feelings towards their mothers and sisters.

March 8 is not a day for giving gifts.

The true meaning of March 8 is to honor women who stand up to protect women, demand gender equality, protect girls, and fight against domestic violence against women.

Nowadays, some people abuse the idea of ​​giving gifts on every holiday, regardless of the meaning of the day.
