[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, my mom used to load the couch and the floor below full of gifts. From hot ticket items (Nintendo NES!) to small useful “things” (cookies, hair bands, brushes, favorite soda) to clothes to books. So much stuff.

I feel this pull to do the same for mine, even though I know it’s excessive and ridiculous. So far I’ve not gone that far, even though I remember what it felt like to walk out and see that couch. But my kid doesn’t NEED that stuff and neither did I, frankly.

We usually get one big thing (bike, American Girl set, this year, roller blades.) some books, pajamas, art supplies, and little toys (LOL, blind bags) in stocking. Maybe 15 actual things to open.[/quote]

Don't they also get tons of gifts from grandparents, other family, etc.? How many presents total are they opening?[/quote]
As I said, from us, about 15 things. Maybe 10 more between the grandparents, but they usually buy clothes, books, or other consumables.[/quote]
