Please use studies when making your argument. Let's see what science has to say!
https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice?language=en
For example, this ted talk discusses the paradox of choice and suggests that maybe it would be better to receive a surprise e-ring, because then you wouldn't be thinking "Oh gee, maybe I should've chosen the cushion cut instead of the round!". How many times have we seen this kind of second-guessing on PS? And how many times have we seen, "Well I wouldn't change a thing because it was a gift, given with love!"
But on the flip side, how many times have we seen: "Omg he knew I wanted a white gold princess cut but he gave me a yellow gold pear cut... Eeeek!" So obviously, it's not an easy answer!
Let's use behavioural economics, psychology, and anything else you can think of to unpack this question! Yay
And also, just for funsies, a poll. See above.
