please keep the receipt

The girlfriend and I had a gift exchange this Christmas. When I reached home I received a SMS from her. "I found the receipt in the bag."

FAIL.

Many of us have this habit of removing the price label when giving gifts, be it a box of chocolate or a bunch of fruits from the supermarket. It's an interesting habit. When you think of it, it isn't that difficult to find out the price if the receiver wants to. But then again, it's the thoughts that count.

Do you have the habit of removing that sticky price label when buying gifts for others (and leaving behind the sticky mark)?

usually when i buy a gift, i do remove the price tag, but i keep the receipt until after the person has opened it, so that in case it needs to be exchanged i can still do so (e.g. if it's a piece of clothing and the size doesn't fit well).

daph: wow, that's very thoughtful of you, (and if you unfriend the person, can claim back the amt too :P:P:P)
