I gave over 60 gifts this year. Some of my gifts were like token gifts, like only a few bucks. Some of my gifts were $100, like for the grandkids. I bought for everyone from my neighbors and apartment complex staff to my children and grandchildren. Some presents were drop shipped but most of them went through me to get wrapped. I hate wrapping, but it was worth it to get that feeling of giving. My favorite thing I got this year was two handwritten thank you notes from some neighbors. I love it.

I gave my brother and his family a bunch of warm clothes. They needed them as they just moved to my very cold state from PR.
My dad got a bracelet, a party game and a book.
His wife got socks and a book mark.
My mom got compression socks, tea, measuring cups and keto snacks.
My other niece and nephew got $50.
My friend got gelt and a gift card to Starbucks. She celebrates Hanukkah hence the gelt.
Even though I’m pretty strapped for cash now, it felt really good to give this year.

No I didn’t buy any presents this year, but I don’t have anyone locally to buy for. I sent my sister a card. My couple of friends and I are pretty broke this year.

New laptop for my wife plus a few toiletries she likes. A 24" drawing tablet for my daughter plus some D&D things. A new collar and floppy fish toy for the cat. Everyone else got baking.
I surprised the neighbours on my cul-de-sac last night. Everyone who was home got a bag of my fresh made cheese stuffed ravioli, a jar of sauce, and a loaf of bread (both also made by me). The three who weren’t home got IOUs taped to their front door.

I don’t think I did give any presents this year, now that you mention it. Maybe I can remedy that by donating money, when I feel financially secure enough.

I got my Mum some books, posh chocolate and a nice candle.
I got my Grandparents white wine and florentine cake
I got my Uncle and Aunt rose wine and panettone, and my cousin some small penguins made of chocolate.
I was a little dissapointed that my Uncle and Aunt got me a pizza wheel (cutter) with a guitar shape as a handle. It made me wish I had kept the panettone lol!
