[quote=Anonymous]Stop saying "no toys!!!!" and start asking for targeted big-ticket items. Tell grandma about how much your boys enjoy outdoor toys (basketball hoops and climbing domes and such are toys FYI), talk up how much fun your oldest is having with sports to grandpa. Basically, stop making the grandparents think you're denying your kids fun (which is what shouting no toys sounds like) and start ensuring that when they think about your kids they naturally gravitate to the kinds of activities you want. And stop trying to make experience gifts happen from other people. Grandparents often like to send things they can wrap.[/quote]
