Gift-giving for adults can indeed differ in some ways from other forms of gift-giving. According to the discussion on the Mind Pump Podcast, as adults, personal preferences such as the value of comfort and convenience become more prominent in the context of holiday traditions and gifting.
In the episode, Adam Schafer of Mind Pump highlights his preference for returning to his own home to sleep rather than staying overnight on a floor at a family gathering, despite the tradition of family members sleeping over and the usual gift exchange and party atmosphere that goes with it. This reflects a broader theme where adult preferences, such as comfort and personal space, can influence traditional activities, including how gifts (in this context, comfort and convenience) are valued and exchanged among adults 1.
