Often? In our relationship, and also in our respective families, a married couple counts as one unit for bills, or anything else.

does that include buying them presents? I assume you'd get them a joint one..otherwise they're getting 2 gifts as a "unit"

Any

I don't get presents from my sister and my BIL separately and me and my OH don't buy them 2 presents each... from each of us.

My mother would certainly not expect 2 presents from us, or a separate present from my OH.. the same as his mother wouldn't expect separate ones from us?

It's MY mother and HIS mother.

However we do give separate presents/1 big one to friends who are both our friends independently.. that we would still be both of ours friends even if we split up.
