[quote=Anonymous]You can only set your own rules about giving gifts. Saying you will no longer receive gift is pretty controlling. If you don't like to give people gifts, just don't give anything and they will get the message. There really isn't a tactful way to stop giving gifts. Some people see giving and receiving of gifts as a traditional way of celebrating. For many people. receiving a gift lets them know you thought of them and care about them. Just don't tell them that your husband bought you flowers or jewelry or that you gave him a sweater etc. That sends the message that you do do gifts - just not for them. If you are against giving anything to each other and no one gives or receives in your family - then explain your philosophy to them. Few people share it so it likely won't go over to well.[/quote]
