I'm not much for receiving gifts but I appreciate fancy candies and food items I wouldn't buy for myself, and I turned most of them in to poop already.

The lady and I started just buying our own gifts and profusely thanking each other for them a few years back. So. Nothing.
It's nice because there are still gifts under the tree, without the angst of shopping and the likelihood of disappointment.
This is what my wife and I do but we also usually throw in a surprise too.
My wife and I have decided to adopt the Icelandic tradition of buying each other books, and opening them on Christmas Eve. We then have a wonderful quiet read that evening.
We might buy each other small presents aside from the books, but nothing is expected or required.
Whirley-Pop.
Opend it up, realized it was a cheap piece of garbage. Went to return it to Amazon, and apparently it can't be returnd.
I love some homemade stovetop popcorn, but it is way easier to make and clean up using a regular stainless pot than that POS.

My husband's mom bought our cats a chirping kicky toy that I guess is supposed to look kind of like a ferret. It was really shrill and annoying and they wouldn't leave it alone because the noises made them so curious. It mysteriously vanished later on christmas day lmao.
