A poll was taken on, whether women like receiving gifts in private or in public. That could be at your workplace or wherever other people can see what you are getting. Keep in mind, gifts don't have to be Expensive gifts! The poll said 81% like receiving gifts privately and 19% like receiving them public. CBS tv "The Talk" Comments ?

Prefer private and it also depends what it is. Don’t want to receive lingerie in public

I also prefer private, although it does depend on what it is. Some things I wouldn't mind in public, but then it also depends on where and what we're doing/going to do. If I have to carry something awkward shape or weight, not handy. I was once given a huge metallic balloon but we were to go into the city center after that to attend an outdoors gig. Meant I would have to hold the stick with balloon on it for hours on end. Even though it was sweet, I wasn't too chuffed, hihi.

It's fun to watch a lady open a ring box with lingerie stuffed in it in public.

I wouldn't even like receiving lingerie in private. If a guy gives something to you he expects you to wear it too, preferably right away. I am very particular about what lingerie I feel sexy in and what not. And wearing lingerie is only sexy when you wear what you feel good in, not what the other wants to see. I rather buy my own lingerie. If a guy would ever gift me lingerie for a special occasion instead of a decent pressie I am not going to be happy.

At home.. Don't give a s* what other people think about a gift I recieve...it's for ME, not them... For example, they may make fun of it...even though it is something I really like and is very special. Or, they may (as women in the past at work had said) say the guy is cheap and I should dump him.. A. I don't recall asking you what you thought. B. P* off with that bull****..

If a man gives me a romantic gift, I'm not going to complain about where he chooses to do so. It's the thought that counts. I have no preference... Receiving a gift in public would be okay, kind of like foreplay, haha. All that energy building from the oh so good feelings of getting a gift could intensify saying thank you later that evening... in private!

I think it all depends on the gift I I guess... if it's flowers a lot of women like to receive them at work .. if it's lingerie most likely give it to her in private. The lingerie that is lol

I once had a clown show up at my work. It was a secure building so I had to go outside where everyone was taking a break.

Personally I like turquoise jewelry, real native american made, not chinese. It's something I would be happy with at work or in public, its not an engagement ring, And I have different sizes of fingers so could wear it no matter what size he got.

Deliver her in public a velvet collar preferably with jewels set in the collar!

Yikes! that sounds like a ritzy DOG gift, not something for a woman.

I have given non-romantic gifts to female friends in public where they thought it was romantic. Not only the recipient, those that witnessed the gift as well. It made for some very awkward moments in the office. I give pretty good gifts.

I prefer give gifts in private. An expectation, that gifts be given publicly, makes is seem like a tribute to royalty, rather than a gift to a loved one.

I have read comments that most of us want to receive gifts in private, me too. I don' t expect someone know that I have received a gift from somebody.

I give the three girls at my local coffee shop and the six staff at my local pub (small country town) gifts of Ferrero Rocher chocolates at Xmas time in appreciation of the friendly service and great meals. They were all very appreciative that someone took the time to do that for them.

There is only one romantic gift I would want to give and it matters not whether it is in private or in public. That gift would be my heart.
