If you are married or in a relationship, there seems to always be an expectation to give a nice (and sometimes expensive) gift to the recipient. Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day are all holidays where people may expect a gift.
My husband and I do not exchange gifts for any holidays. And, we couldn't be happier. He doesn't shower me with unnecessary diamond necklaces, and he doesn't expect a nice watch. Sure, we exchange meaningful greeting cards, but those are a couple of dollars, not hundreds.
This may be a hard tip for some of you to agree to, but it will save you lots of money and stress in trying to find that perfect gift.
