@peaceful_seeker Hey, you do you, OP. We stopped with any gifts about a year into our relationship. Eight years and one kid on, it's honestly been one of the best things we ever did.
We get stuff—even big stuff—when we need it. Maybe it's from struggling so hard financially early in our time together—and thankfully not these days.
My first birthday as a dad was one week to the day my daughter was born last summer. I didn't want/need a thing in the universe. It's cliche but...I've got everything I need.
Avoids all this stuff.
Asked my wife, yesterday, if she's sure this first Mother's Day she doesn't want a gift. Hard no.
(A few of the baby girl's aunties decided to do an arts + crafts thing for her anyhow. I would've have let nothing happen.)
