At a certain stage of life Christmas presents become problematic. We don't need much that we don't already have. If either of us want something below some mutually understood threshold, we buy it. My wife can't wear metal jewelry and is really picky about clothes. A car could be a wow gift. I could pull it off. My wife could probably buy a car that I would love, by spending more than I would typically spend.

For the very reasons you listed the wife and I don’t exchange gifts.
