What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

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.
