I think the problem is that we've grown into this culture of giving every tom, dick and harry a present because we can afford to.
I think maybe now things are more expensive for most people, we'll start becoming more selective of who we buy gifts for, and also what we give. Instead of expressing our feelings with money, maybe we'll actually get back to trying to get those we love a gift that means something even though maybe it doesn't cost so much.
