This year I gifted my immediate family two plane tickets to the mountains of Roanoke.
We'll be far from anyone wanting to exchange shitty gifts.

I give every adult on my list a box of King-Sized condoms.
That puts a damper on the next year situation.

We do it.
Man some of you Grinchy motherfrickers just hate giving don't you?
I love giving gifts. It makes me feel good inside. And I don't care about getting.
But you scrooges are just insufferable. Can't even be bothered to get a damn gift without throwing a fit?
Santa frowns on you.
All you crumbsnatchers got a ton of gifts growing up, and now you can't even spare a card for Granny and a Bottle of Gin for Uncle Chester? Maybe a damn Candle for aunt Irene?

Oh, no. Only kids and when they're out of college its stops for them.

The adult siblings decided not to exchange gifts this year for the first time. Giving my parents gifts, and gifts to the kids. Makes things a lot easier, but also a little sad, TBH. It remains to be seen if anybody breaks down and gives gifts anyway, making everybody else look like shite. We may all end up doing it

Me neither.

I like to give.
Receiving shitty gifts is what sucks so bad.

O.have tried to get my wife's family to take the money we spend on buying other adults gifts and pool it to give to a homeless ministry or by a water well in a poor country. No. They want to get gifts.

You only have one adult family member?

It's not about the getting!
It's about thinking about all those who thought about you growing up and embracing the Yuletide spirit.

No, they try to do that white elephant crap and gift exchange nonsense.
But I just get gifts for everyone except the Shitty teenagers and 20 somethings who are a shame to the family

Yes. Only adults on my side I buy for are my parents, and my 16 y/o brother. Always get a little something for my godparents, but never more than $20.
Husband's side hands out a list and spends a couple hours going around opening gifts. All 20+ in front of each 30+ year old adult with a good job. It's....strange.
And by strange I mean stressful, excessive, unnecessary. I keep trying to find ways to ask for it to stop but it causes tension anytime I bring it up with them.

It's not about getting is right.
But if I take the time to buy someone something useful, and they give me a foot warmer/massger, just don't bother.
Like already mentioned, donate that money and save me the time of going and getting you something practical and awesome.

Tyler,
I did the same thing..or similar.
Think I'm gonna hand them all an envelope with a certificate that says "congrats, you had $200 donated to XYZ charity in your name. Merry Christmas!"
