    Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union don't spend much on each other at Christmas

    The 42-year-old NBA player has been married to 'Bring It On' star Gabrielle, 52, since 2014 and has learned in that time that the best sort of present is "not about the price tag" or going to extremes


    He told E! News: "Gab and I have learned it's not about the price tag or going over the top with gifts. It's about making it meaningful, something that speaks to who we are as a couple.

    "We try to focus on experiences. It's about creating memories, not just unwrapping a box. At the end of the day, it's the thought and love behind the gift that counts. That's how we keep it special every year."

    Dwyane - who has Kaavia, six, with Gabrielle and Xavier, 11, from his relationship with Aja Metoyer, as well as Zaya, 17, and Zair, 22, with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches -likes to embrace this time of year, especially following his retirement in 2019.

    He said: "There's just something special about having everyone together under one roof, especially after a long, crazy year. I spend so much time traveling during the year even after retiring, so when the holidays roll around, it's like a timeout from everything."

    As well as Christmas, Dwyane - who was awarded full custody of his nephew Dahveon, 21, in 2011 - noted that himself and his family love Thanksgiving and he "looks forward" to seeing all of his loved ones in the same room.

    He said: "Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and each year we host at my house. I look forward to seeing all of my close family and friends in one room and the amazing conversations we have each year."
