My exceptions are gifts for kids, gifts that are unique like if you go on vacation and bring somebody back a souvenir or something that they couldn't buy where they live and gifts between significant others(spouse/bf/gf), and handmade gifts that somebody has made themselves, now that's a gift.

That's exactly how I feel about it. If I want something, I'll buy it myself.
I love my in-laws and extended family there, but everyone in the family is flat broke so I always get something lame. I always go into Christmas with "less then zero expectations" these days and I can care less what I get. Christmas is for my kid who always get spoiled.
In the mean time I have to put something on my Amazon wish list. I usually just fill it up with DVDs, movies or TV shows I haven't seen yet.
