OP here.  I know this poster probably wasnt serious, but it is precisely this attitude that spoils it for everyone and makes some want to not give gifts anymore.  Stop it. Save the gift cards for your child's teacher or someone else you don't know well and want to show appreciation and thanks, unless that truly is what would be the most thoughtful gift and even then it can be done in a thoughtful way, not just tossed in a bag with some tissue.  It's about being thoughtful and giving of your time and effort, not about spending the money. Many people keep saying "but we dont NEED anything, we have too much stuff already, we are spoiled, etc.  Do the no-gifts posters really believe that only people who actually DO "need things" should give gifts to each other? So exchanging Christmas gifts will become the tradition of the less fortunate? Seriously? I also can't believe that everyone who is promoting "no gifts",  including my in laws, will go through the entire year without spending any money on goods and services for themselves, necessary or otherwise.   Why not be willing to accept these as gifts? [/quote]

I DON"T WANT ANYONE'S SHIT. You probably give people stupid monogrammed crap.

If you want to give me something thoughtful then babysit my kids. Other than that I can buy my own stuff.[/quote]
