[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you ask your siblings to give your family a group gift?  Something you all can use together--a board game, a basketball hoop, a video game, an art supply kit, whatever would be helpful?  One part of my extended family does all whole-family gifts.  I don't know how it started, but it's been going on for many years (through many ages and stages) and tends to work well.[/quote]

This is a great idea as long as each family is on board with how much to spend.  You don't want one family to be giving out Monopoly games while another family is giving out big screened t.v.s.

Maybe set the limit at $50 per family gift.  If it starts to become a gift card exchange I would highly recommend switching over to the stocking gift idea.[/quote]

Seconding this. I'm one of five kids and often these types of group gifts were more fun than smaller ones. My grandparents even do this now. Instead of giving us individual gifts as adults, they pay for something special if we're all together for Christmas like a dinner or family photo.[/quote]
