[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You could draw names for the adults and put a spending limit on gifts for the kids to make everything more fair[/b]. If you want to do more expensive gifts then wait for birthday. When it is your birthday you can suggest something that is not expensive but say how much you want it. You could also suggest that they pay for dinner and choose a non expensive place.[/quote] This. Except I would put everyone, kids and adults, in the a hat and draw names. My large family has several members who are struggling and this strategy has worked for nearly 40 years. We put a $20 limit on the gift. Grandparents buy an additional gift for all the kids, so each kid receives 2 gifts and each adult 1. Kids are just as happy as if they received 10 gifts and nobody feels bad about the gifts they gave or received. [/quote]
