If I had to do that it would INCREASE my stress, not bring about warm feelings. It would be like giving a report and getting evaluated on it. Maybe your family is not like mine...

It would increase mine too. Too much focus on me.

Why increase stress? Don't you know why you got some things for some people? Do you like them and feel comfortable?

No, I do not feel comfortable around all of them. I generally try to find something that’s acceptable. My family generally has more money than I do, and have everything they want, plus half my in-laws shun us because we are a same-sex couple. No small children are left to delight, just social obligation.

Ok is different if you don't feel as comfortable around them all, hope they learn to stop shunning, but if they do they don't deserve "gift" from you
