My family doesn't exchange gifts anymore, because it's pointless. We all make enough money to buy the things we want, and it only adds stress to run around buying crap that nobody really wants (or needs). Instead, we'll take that money, and spend it on ourselves (which we probably won't), so that nobody is disappointed.
It's more important for my family to get together and have a good meal, and spend time together. My girlfriend however, is the exception, and I always get something cool for her. It just works out better this way, and everyone in my family is totally cool with it. Keep in mind that there are no small children in the family at this point, otherwise we woucl all make sure they get spoiled and have a memorable holiday.
