[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely talk to your sister particularly given the difference in disposable income between the two of you. I did something similar w/o asking first and realized after the fact that it caused tension (not tragic, thankfully). It's a very thoughtful gesture but it's respectful of your sister to ask first. And to another point, make your gifts for the other siblings of similar value (even if that means a contribution to a savings account or something similar if they're too young to receive a $140 gift).[/quote]

I agree with talking, but I’m the rich sister in this scenario and my poorer siblings understand there is NO need to reciprocate or to make gifts of the same value to all people involved. [/quote]

Huh. As the”richer” sister in my family, my sister knows that I am the most likely person to buy her kids a present like the OP is planning. When I ask for ideas she definitely offers the more expensive ones to me than she does other family. And she also knows it doesn’t matter at all how much she spends on my kid’s presents.  It isn’t tit for tat. 
But I would ask because I’d want to get the specific bag the niece wants. Moms are pretty good at keeping secrets when it comes to Christmas even if  they aren’t normally.
