My husband and I stopped "gifting" each other for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries 15+ years ago. We make the purchases we need throughout the year; and cheer each other on for special purchases for ourselves. Our families agreed to stop gifting quite a few years ago once the kids grew up. This time of year feels so peaceful now. The stress is gone and we can just enjoy what the season provides and enjoy the time we get to spend with family and friends. 💕
