Quit giving gifts quite few years ago. My wife and I usually buy what we need (not want) as it comes along. Sometimes it don't get bought if other expenses have to come first. We quit sending gifts to the kids and grandkids. Money sent with cards was never acknowledged, let alone special gifts.
We might hear from them twice year, but one we have not heard from for 2+ years and didn't even get an invite to her wedding.
