Stop birthday gift giving at what age for nieces/nephews?

Anonymous
After 18 I felt awkward getting gifts from aunts and uncles. I will say I’ve appreciated my grandparents gifts even now at 40. Not the monetary amount, but that they think of me.

Sibling said no? You stop when you're ready.

We did large high school graduation gifts and then we were done.

Can you afford it? Are they apprecitive? Problem is 30 year is going to get more money from you if you stop now. In the interest of fairness and if you can afford it stop at 30 with everyone.

So Aunts/uncles thinking about you is awkward? How so? If you got married and they gave a gift would still be awkward?

I wish I had nice relatives like that!

Unless you know someone better than they know themself, don't send a gift.

I wanted to stop after HS, but sibling insisted we keep going. Definitely stopping after undergrad graduation (4 years)
