Social mores dictate that I get my half-sibling something for Christmas/Birthdays. However, I'm rather unfond of her, so for the last three years it's been CD vouchers.
The subtext (for me) being - here's something, go and spend it, I really can't be bothered to shop for you because you're not worth as much effort as other people I know.
It's nice to get them, I can always find a use for them, but I prefer (normally) to put a little more thought and effort into people's presents.
