[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like gifting some necessities because it adds to their gift pile and they have more to open. So we often throw in a hoodie or sweatpants or underwear into the Christmas gifts. They love it!

Also, as an aside, I tend to not even tell my DH what I am getting for the kids. That way there are no arguments! So much easier. I buy all the gifts and wrap them too. [/quote]

Agree with minimal discussion over what you are getting kids. We do some coordinating just to avoid over-buying or doubling up on gifts. But mostly we have our spheres of gift giving and stick to them. I handle clothes, creative items, decor. DH always gets legos and often some outdoor toys. We will both buy books for kids and will generally check in with each other on those. Once in a while one of us has an idea for a big gift and we will discuss that, but we mostly avoid big gifts for Christmas and stick with a selection of smaller but fun items. Usually with a big item (like a bike or a major electronic purchase) it's better to involve the kids in the purchase and not to tie it to a birthday or Christmas.[/quote]
