[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just thinking about this today. We spend about $200-$250 a kid. The oldest will graduate college this year. She still provides me with a list and I’m happy to shop from it. But at what point do you stop buying expensive gifts for Christmas? Is it college graduation, 25 or 30? Where does it end? [/quote]

I would love somebody to help with this question...I have a 23 and 25 year old and I think its time to dial back the presents but not sure what is "normal" for this age group....[/quote]

My oldest is 23 and we still buy Christmas presents, but the aunts and uncles stop after 21. We do ask for lists from our kids (I tell them around Halloween that I'll be asking for them around Thanksgiving), but they don't ask for extravagant things. The lists tend to contain two kinds of items, specific for stuff where they're the experts ("Model X size Y sticky gloves") or general ideas for things we know more about ("A basic cookbook").

My parents bought me presents for years. I don't know when they stopped -- maybe when we had children and were overwhelmed by all the stuff everywhere. But then they changed to giving us money. [/quote]
