The tradition of exchanging gifts stems from Christianity and The Magi bestowing gold, frankincense, and myrrh on the infant Christ.
It was further developed in the Scandinavian tradition of St. Nicholas (who was a real priest).
New Years Day supports has not been subject to the traditions of men or religion. It's more or less a civil holiday.

I guess a whole day of gift giving is not enough for you. So sorry.
It's the NEW YEAR that is exciting enough.
