Yes I’d still make the effort because to me gift giving isn’t about what you might or might not get in return.

Cost doesn't reflect effort either. Sometimes it is still a thoughtless or inappropriate gift when it is expensive.

I didn’t say I buy expensive presents. I said I make an effort. Do you know what that means? It’s thinking about the person you’re giving the gift to, not necessarily spending lots of money. You think I’m a Stepford wife? 😂 I think you’re jealous.

My cousin does the same thing. Told me she doesn't like a particular scent & what do you know everything i ever got from her was that exact scent. Probably been sitting in the cupboard for 3years.

They might be really relieved that you've finally caught on - maybe they are anti-consumer, maybe they are sick of all the stuff in their house and sick of buying landfill for people, maybe they are sick of being expected to buy grown adults in the extended family over-the-top gifts? Maybe money is tight or they have other priorities?

Not even slightly. I buy for my kids, my parents, my in laws, my sister, my hubby and my best friend. They are the only ones that buy for me. I have 3 other brothers and 4 other sister's and I don't buy for any of them because every year I would spend hundreds and get "oh, thanks." None of them have kids so I don't have to worry about nieces and nephews. And hubby only has the 1 sister and he buys for her because she buys us a joint present every year so I just leave it up to him.
