Do I have to buy anyone presents?!

Hi ladies! So I am normally the type of person that LOVES buying presents for people at Christmas, I go big most years because I enjoy treating my loved ones as much as possible... but this year I will have a 1-2 week old newborn baby, my partner doesn’t currently have a job as he took a redundancy, and I myself am low on cash due to going onto maternity pay which isn’t great...

I haven’t bought any Christmas gifts for anyone yet and I am now starting to feel guilty that I won’t have anything to give anyone when we do gift exchanges, it’ll break my heart...

My partner keeps telling me that we’re giving them a grandson and that I have no obligation to buy anything, but I know I’ll feel guilty if I don’t..

What are other new mums doing for family this Christmas?

Does anyone have any suggestions of inexpensive things I could buy for my immediate family members just so they have something to open?
