[quote=Anonymous]A non cluttered house is what works best for us, though we have plenty of space for our toddler DC to enjoy toys. DC's birthday is relatively close to Christmas. We express thanks for all the gifts, then just quietly donate what DC does not use or enjoy. We have already been to Goodwill this holiday season to donate toys. But I am wondering how others handle this type of issue. Example: DC receives massive quantity of very cheap toys, often duplicative of nice ones already owned. We receive many sets of items that seem to have 50 pieces - these sets end up jumbled together. We also receive loud, mechanized toys that speak (wouldnt choose these ourselves, and DC quickly tired of them). We actually avoided buying DC any toys for Christmas ourselves because of the huge b-day-Xmas influx. What do others do? How did families with "wishlist" traditions get those started- was it totally initiated by grandparents? This is a first world problem for sure.[/quote]
