[quote=Anonymous]This is my parents. Gift giving is very much a love language for them when it comes to their grandkids. We argued for years and would get very upset when they showed up loaded down with gifts. We asked for experience gifts or 529 contributions instead but they wanted the fun of seeing our kids' excitement. It was selfish on their end more than anything. They started trying to get around it by keeping some stuff in their suitcase and then not on Christmas morning but at other points during their visit say "Oh Larlo, look I found this and thought you'd like it" and just hand something to her. Covid helped, honestly, when for a year or two we didn't gather and now on the backside of Covid we're out of the toy stage and it's a lot less fun to gift hoodies and Starbucks gift cards. [/quote]
