[quote=Anonymous]Try to keep any gifts that you know don't have staying power IN THE BOXES and keep them unopened. My kids would get an insane amount from my inlaws, and instead of fighting it, I'd just tuck things away as they opened it. Usually there was one main gift that caught their eye, and I'd let them open that one up and play with it while at the gathering. The rest, I'd bag up in one of the giant gift bags. Then when we got home if I thought we'd use it (like books or arts and crafts stuff) I'd put it away. Everything else went into a closet for a month. If no one asked about the gifts, I'd donate them or regift them as birthday presents to their friends (this got harder once they were a bit older and remembered). Now mine are 8 and 10 and we talk about how we don't really need this stuff and choose what we'll donate. This was a lot easier than trying to talk certain relatives out of gift giving. I have managed to talk quite a few down though![/quote]
