Don't most people prefer handmade gifts? Idk maybe I just dislike gifts. I got a charger a few weeks back because I needed one, I thanked, and I can't unsee how I got some more expensive charger with multiple ports for cables while I just need one, so I think of it as lost value that I will have to match on their birthday. Why doesn't my mom ever accept to just not give each other gifts? I will obviously have to pretend to be grateful and spend hours choosing a gift for their birthday. Have I mentioned that I also dislike Christmas because of this?

    The anxiety of gift giving is real. All my family have their birthdays from September through December. That + Christmas always leaves me more stressed out and poorer than necessary. I never know what to get. I would prefer to just not give each other gifts at all.
