[quote=Anonymous]Card with $10 for birthday & Christmas is totally fine! You sound like a nice aunt. Once I started giving my nieces gift cards instead of presents, I would write on the card "have fun with this! Let me know what you spend it on!" and that more often elicited a thank you and follow up about the manner in which they enjoyed the gift. Before that I never got thank you notes, although one year when I missed my oldest niece's 12th birthday she wrote me her first letter ever, asking me if I forgot her birthday. (My brother undoubtedly had his tacky hand in that!)[/quote]
