[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he likes to see overflowing gifts... do it the way my inlaws do it. They buy very little throughout the year. If you need clothes, shoes, new bikes, electronics- you wait until Christmas or your birthday. And then on Christmas they spend 1k or so. That way, nothing is wasteful and it's a really joyful Christmas morning. [/quote] That's mostly how I was raised. So the tree overflows, but some of the packages are socks, some are underwear, some are the shoes you'll need for spring sports, some are the random special treat granola bars or specialty drinks that we don't usually buy but one kid requests, the stocking has chapstick and new toothbrushes....there are just a couple high-value gifts mixed in there. My spouse thinks I'm crazy if I do something like wrap up socks, but it's mostly fun to unwrap lots of stuff. [/quote] Same here! We rarely got anything outside of holidays/birthdays, but at Christmas, that tree exploded. It's kind of why we were Santa believers until waaaaaaay past most kids, because we just couldn't believe our stingy parents would really buy all that stuff. We got "normal" gifts like toys, but also socks and underwear, snow boots, school supplies, sheets, toiletries, etc. It was a lot of fun.[/quote]
