[quote=Anonymous]I have to admit I love the way my family did it growing up. We were all middle class and money was tight. Their special treat was a check. My parents encouraged me to save the money. I really appreciated it in my teens in college when I needed something like a dress for a formal and then in young adulthood I took the rest of the money and invested it so it grew. I always wrote thank you notes. It wasn't this prolonged thing. Now this generation has more money to play with and they are obsessed with the perfect gift. The back and forth is too much. I appreciate the relatives who just send a check and my kids have the same mentality I had-save.[/quote]
