My family used to be all into the gift giving thing, where everybody would get everyone a present, even extended family. Over the years, and as the family has distanced themselves from each other, this has become a less common trait. We still have an annual Christmas dinner and get together, but we only buy presents if we know someone really wants something. Or maybe for the children. I only give something if I know someone would really enjoy it and cherish it.
Personally, I do not give presents unless it is out of love. I usually give presents throughout the year, and only to close relatives and friends. I find it pointless to buy presents "just because".

It is funny you say it is pointless to buy presents "just because" I'm assuming just because it is Christmas or a birthdays.
We call our gifts of love 'just because" gifts. Just because I love you or just because I wanted to buy you something.
