I usually just buy for a select few people. It used to be my close family but now it's just my nieces and nephew. I also buy for just two of my friends since we've always done it. Andy @ Retire at 40´s last blog post..Personal Finance is Not a Destination, it's a Journey

A while back we decided to send my wife back to school to work on an AA which turned into a BA and then became graduate work. Knowing that cutting our income in half was going to be hard, we made a pact to not buy ANY gifts for each other for birthdays, anniversary or Christmas. We also asked our friends and family not to exchange any gifts with us (except for sending money to kids of family and friends.) Surprisingly, they all understood and (mostly) abided by this. (We’re pretty tough to buy for anyway so they might have been relieved.) Quite a few years later, we now are out of the habit of automatically buying gifts just because it’s a “special occasion”. Instead of spending time hunting for gifts, we use the time handwriting a special note in a card and enjoying time together.

@Shannon,

Have you thought about My Points? I earned enough points this year for four $10 gift cards, by clicking on the emails that they sent. You probably don’t have enough time to accumulate enough points for this year, but you could for next year! I’m happy to send you a referral invitation if you want.

@ Shevy, re: Comment Luv. I don’t know why it does that. It sometimes does that to me at other sites like Simple Mom. It will come back!
