    Christmas gifts unless you actually communicate and confirm what someone wants (which based on my culture can be seen as rude) seems so pointless. Just buying short term garbage for the sake of “giving”.

      Eh, as i get older I kinda like the small gesture, and there are plenty of small things that show you care that virtually anyone can make use of:

      Some good, high quality snacks or sweets they like but usually don’t buy for themselves because it’s a bit indulgent. Their favorite liquor. A pair of nice comfy socks maybe.

        Nah, screw gift cards. Money. Gift them money. Don’t give money to corporations for nothing.

          But then it becomes pointless. If you’re both giving each other a wad of $50 for Christmas, what’s the point of doing it at all? You’re giving each other the exact same thing.

      With the exception of parents I’d rather someone didn’t get me something than just ask me what I want

      The present isn’t the money spent it’s the thought that’s gone into it

      That said I’d also rather not get a present than get one for the sake of it with no thought

      Give the gift of less waste going to landfill this christmas lol
