but out of friendship or courtesy to those who do, we give gifts to the following:

1. The maintenance guys in our building (fairly substantial checks).
2. The newspaper deliverer (some cash in a card).
3. Husband's office staff (wine or foodstuffs or something personal).
4. We bake three or four kinds of cookies to put on the doorsteps of neighbors on our floor.
5. When our kids were growing up, we had them give small presents to their good friends.

As for family, we celebrate Hanukkah and at this point buy gifts predominantly only for our grandchildren and grandnieces (no boys in the family!). Off to the toy store soon.
