Description

Should I suggest we only exchange consumables (gifts of homemade baked goods or gourmet food items)?

Dear Eric: How does one politely suggest to an in-law’s relative that we don’t need to exchange Christmas gifts? My significant other and I are at the stage in life where we really do not need more “stuff” and would rather not deal with gifts that are generic at best and usually are re-gifted promptly via donation or gift-economy communities.
