[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one and only time someone told me to my face that I hadn't bought enough gifts was the end of that relationship. No more consideration from me.

Your husband should announce in a group email that you two are not participating in any gift exchange, and that others are free to cross you both off their gift list.

Better still, skip the family materialism and go do your own thing.

This. I grew up around entitled selfish jerks who complained about whatever I gave them. It was part of being the scapegoat in the family. They could give me crap but I better pony up even though for years I made much less money. I married in to a family who were worse. The time I spent trying to find gifts people would like was astounding. I tolerated  my inlaws being rude to my face about gift choices. I would never complain about the junk they gave me but finally it did me in. My rule is that I refuse to exchange gifts with anyone who complains about my gift to them. It is rude and entitled.
