3. Receiving Gifts
Receiving gifts:
Giving your sweetheart tokens of your love, such as flowers or chocolates, that let them know you were thinking about them
Receiving gifts is a relatively simple love language: When someone gives you “visual markers of love,” as Chapman puts it, you feel cherished. It is the symbolic meaning underlying the object that matters, not its monetary value.
This personality type understands and values the gift-giving process, including the thoughtful consideration, the purposeful selection of the item to symbolize the connection, and the emotional rewards of receiving the gift.
Gifts that are both tangible and meaningful are appreciated by those for whom receiving gifts is their preferred method of communication. Giving them meaningful gifts that represent their ideals rather than just your own is the key.
When you express your affection in this way, a thoughtful present will let you know that you are valued. The opposite is true for generic presents and missed special occasions.
