How does gift giving work with you and your dh/dp?

[Foxytail]

We’ve always tended not to get each other anything
Mainly historically as we didn’t really had the funds
then when we did we decided it was a bit stressful
and wasteful

but now it seems a bit sad we don’t get each other anything
daft thing is we both treat ourselves to what we need or want regularly
so we are certainly not hard done by at all

but I’m thinking wish list is maybe the way to go ?

Nothing for years. We try to be generous with treats instead eg DH found a couple of nice but expensive jumpers last week. He bought them as his Christmas treat, he wouldn’t usually have done this. But they aren’t wrapped or anything.

We have two boys, so collectively we buy the other parent something nice from all three of us.

We don't bother and I like it that way.

We spend the money that would have gone on gifts on a meal out or something nice for the house.

We don’t bother because it’s stressful enough trying to buy for the kids and others. Plus anything we want (within reason!!!) we would tend to just buy.

Haven't done it for years. I buy for his birthday though. He doesn't for mine as I hate presents so much so that's how I like it.
