I kind of agree with this.

I agree. When I exited them there teenage years the thrill of gettin’ stuff for Christmas fell off rather quickly and I remember how cool it was to be making my own money and giving back to those (usually relatives) who’d been giving to me all those years as a kid.

Truth!
Man, I remember that time and my overzealousness. I bought stuff for every relative on both sides of the family. That didn’t last long, and over a couple of years it dwindled down to the ones that mattered most to me.

I think there is a big cultural difference between how we have christmas here in Norway and in america i guess. I buy gifts to all my close friends, family, nephews, siblings, parents, grandparents etc. It’s perfectly normal over here
The reason why im asking for tips is because i am grown up and basically have everything i need. Thats why im asking for help. Since it feels weird getting cash for christmas at the age of 26.

I’m in this camp too. I find it harder thinking of things for people to give to me than what to buy for others.
With the exception of my girlfriend and my nieces/nephews (I’ve no kids) I’d prefer just to not give or receive any gifts at all.

This is normally the gift my wife and I give each other, haha. Birthdays are already stressful enough.[/quote]
me and the mrs go on a short holiday in January instead, makes more sense I think.
As for birthdays - for her last I bought her a bike. Not like a motorbike or anything, just a pushbike. She’s wanted one for years so being the dutiful boyfriend I am I bought her one. Cost a fucking fortune because it’s such a nice one.
She has ridden it not a single time. Looks lovely sitting in our kitchen though.
