No. But some people think that having $300 in an account after bills are paid counts as "excess." That counts as living paycheck to paycheck. The average American (who is out shopping right now) doesn't have any wealth accumulated and is living paycheck to paycheck.

If budgeting money when "money is tight" means living paycheck to paycheck, the presents should not be bought.
