I know it may sound strange, but there usually isn't for us. Hubby and I buy something for the house as our gift to each other (this year it was a new TV for the living room we got a couple of weeks ago). My family does a "Secret Santa" now where you only have to buy for one person (one store-bought gift <$100 and one handmade gift). My in-laws have been hurting financially for the past two years due to my MIL not working due to cancer and my FIL retired about 5 years ago, so we buy for them... But won't let them buy for us. They need it more than we do!

I know it may sound like we take the "fun" out of the season, but we enjoy buying for others more than we enjoy receiving. I've got a list of stuff that if Santa wanted to get me something... He would have plenty to choose from (mainly household items and clothes). The only people who buy me crafty goodies are my parents and Hubby... Both of which wouldn't be getting me anything anyways.
