If I don’t give gifts to anyone in the opposite side of the family OR my extended family, am I gonna look bad? I’d rather use the money on saving up for my kids’ education.

What is the issue here, that giving “gifts” is an evil practice, full stop. Or giving certain types of gifts is a totally unnecessary practice which sets up a wrong precedent?
