No more gift gifting

[Delinaret]

I am fed up of gifting gifts.

This year I am giving. AIBU?

Duh! Should say I am giving presents. Not just giving ...

Gifting is the worst neologism of the last decade. It literally makes my skin crawl. JUST GIVE THINGS, PEOPLE. Ugh.

I am right there with you. I hate gifting.

Although it has to be said that "presenting" presents also sounds a little weird.

Are you ‘consciously de-gifting’, @bridgetreilly?

Gifting = impersonal
Present = personal

🧐

Totally with you OP.

My husband too.

The expression sets my teeth on edge (along with excited "for" rather than "about").
