If you used to give presents to your now-adult nieces and nephews, do you still?

And if not, when did you stop

I think I will continue to give until they have their own kids. Then I will give to their kids.

I give money now... somewhat begrudgingly if I'm being honest. I do so because their parents give my children gifts and because my other sibling gives gifts so I don't want to be the outlier! But as PP said, I think when they are married and/or have kids I will just give to the kids.

I stopped when they married.

None of my nieces or nephews are out of college yet but I think I probably won't stop. I like buying presents or giving things; it basically is my love language to give. We're all pretty tight, I see them all almost once a day or at least a few times a week right now. Even if they get married I will probably keep giving them gifts, add in their spouse and then add in the kids when they come along.

College graduation ended all gifts, both Christmas and birthdays. My kids were the oldest, so I told the aunts and uncles (my siblings) to stop. Their kids were right behind mine.

I stopped at their 21st birthdays - full adults. I have never received a thank you note for gifts or a birthday card from my nieces or nephews so I feel no regrets for stopping the gifting to them.

I am 32 and on my Dad's side we stopped when you graduated college or turned 22. On my Mom's side there are 30+ nieces and nephews so it was always a secret santa.

Birthdays - stopped at high school graduation. Christmas- will stop when youngest graduates from high school (same age as DS). They are still in middle school. I would feel weird not including all the nephews for Christmas presents when I still give to the younger ones.
