But no matter how good/appropriate the gift, it doesn't count unless you do it because you want to, like you and I.
People that don't want to, or for some reason can't, shouldn't feel obligated.

Actually I'd prefer people didn't get me gifts because there is nothing I really need, and chances are, if I wanted it, I'd own it already.
For example, I have an Aunt that buys me expensive calendars every year, that are far from my taste, plus I get tons of free ones in the mail.
I'm talking serious gifts, and not inexpensive silly or gag gifts, of course.
