A couple of times I've suggested to my immediate family that we stop giving gifts at birthdays, and only give gifts to the young kids at Christmas. I'm always politely ignored.
I think birthday gifts tend to be more thoughtful actually. Christmas presents seem to much more likely be disposable, just because you have to give _something_ to everyone around you. Birthday presents allow you to focus on one person and figure out what they actually need or want.
