[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Donate the gifts. Don't tell people what to buy. Manage your stuff better. My son is 10 and his bday is in November, so every year I anticipate having to deal with the birthday gifts and then Christmas. It was worse when he was younger, but now he gets less bc the stuff he's interested in has changed. Just keep what you want & donate what you don't want. But don't turn your kid's bday into a fundraiser. Most people agree that it's inappropriate.[/quote] Another November mom here (x2) and this is what I do--HUGE clean out in October to make room for new toys and re-organize the ones we want to keep. And I also keep some of the gifts that they don't want/already have to re-gift throughout the year. Just make sure you write down who gave it to you so you don't give it to that kid. But since most people don't open gifts at parties anymore, it doesn't matter if you re-gift within the same crowd/class/etc.[/quote]
