Going off another thread here and interested to see really,

I have a great relationship with my 3x siblings , we all get on v.well.

We have never bought birthday cards or gifts for each other or xmas gifts.

Do you with your siblings?

YABU- I do

I was going to scrap adult gifts they're in a better financial situation than me, decided to hold off for a year.

We still get birthday and Christmas gifts for one another but not terribly expensive! For a few years, when our children were younger, we had a pact that we would only get the kids gifts for Christmas, we now have a secret Santa with all the siblings and grown up kids! Still send birthday presents though- we are in our 50s!
But YANBU as all families are different.

Yes, of course! My brother and I have a contest (running for about 15 years) as to who can send the naffest birthday card to the other. I also give to my sister in law. I love them, so why wouldn’t I?
