Christmas gifts unless you actually communicate and confirm what someone wants (which based on my culture can be seen as rude) seems so pointless. Just buying short term garbage for the sake of “giving”.

That's what wishlists and gift cards are for

Nah, screw gift cards. Money. Gift them money. Don't give money to corporations for nothing.

Yeah, I like to give gift cards from the Bank of England.

But then it becomes pointless. If you're both giving each other a wad of $50 for Christmas, what's the point of doing it at all? You're giving each other the exact same thing.

With the exception of parents I'd rather someone didn't get me something than just ask me what I want

The present isn't the money spent it's the thought that's gone into it

That said I'd also rather not get a present than get one for the sake of it with no thought

Give the gift of less waste going to landfill this christmas lol
