[quote=Anonymous]My parents do this too. Complain about cheap stuff from China but then only buy massive amounts of it. I’ve done a few things that help: -pointing out that sometimes the brand name is better and the cheap stuff frustrates kids or isn’t compatible with the brand name stuff. -requesting specific items: “this magnet tile set because it has all the trucks he wants and connects to duplo blocks” rather than “magnet tiles” -asking for bigger ticket items so they spend more on one good gift than a ton on cheap gifts -remembering gifting is as much for them as the kids so keeping it in perspective that letting them give my kids tons of stuff makes them happy as well as my kids[/quote]
