When someone keeps giving you gifts... after you've told them 'please, no more gifts/stuff'

This sounds more like stalking.

She seems to think the kids will forget her if there's not a concrete gift. The worst is a photo with the item upon receipt isn't enough. She will bring up 6 months later "I haven't seen larla wearing that t-shirt I bought lately.." I had to explain I don't send a photo every single time the kids use her gift.

Stop buying as much stuff yourself. You can't expect grandparents to only make a donation to the college fund and never buy anything fun. Sorry.
