[quote=Anonymous]I hate gift giving. I hate getting items that I don’t want and then have to figure out if I can donate or return them. Often they just wind up as trash, which is pretty terrible. I don’t want our house cluttered with random, useless items. We have limited storage and I’m not using it for things we’ll never need and don’t like. I also hate spending money and energy picking out gifts for other people. Birthdays are fine because it’s one at a time and you can be more thoughtful, but the holiday season is awful. I wind up buying things just so it looks like I’m willing to spend money on others, and it’s really wasteful. Last year I told my family I didn’t want to receive any gifts and that I wouldn’t be giving them, and I got a ton of pushback and anger in response. I’d love to forego them going forward but it was a huge issue for our families. [/quote]
