Nope - I've spent my summer gathering everything my daughter needs for her first dorm room at college.
Next will be the birthday gifts for 3 people in my family - husband, daughter, son. This year it's down to 5 gifts each. Last year was 8 gifts each. I've been slowly dropping the number every year. My husband will probably complain though - he likes lots of gifts but we just can't afford to keep that up.
I don't know if I have less gifts, but what I did last year and decided to do going forward is. Everyone gets a stocking, a big gift bag, and a box. I just fit everything into those 3 things. I mix everything up so the big gift might be in the stocking for one person, and in the box for another. Now on the other hand our little grandson son gets lots and lots of presents. So much fun to watch him open everything. It save's me so much money on wrapping paper, and bow's. I will hit up the dollar store for bags, and a couple of rolls of kids Christmas paper for DGS presents. I bought a bunch of wrapping paper, ribbon and fancy's bow's last year after Christmas I should have enough for this year's family's gifts.
