[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP she probably assumes you're going to put the gifts in the basket and she's sending them to save you money perhaps. Just put turn in the basket or set them aside. No harm done. [/quote]

I would have a conversation with her and ask if she wants to make the Easter baskets next year. (Not in a rude way but very sincere) My guess is that she would be super excited and would send great baskets. Then your problem is solved. Only 1 basket, no gifts. I understand that you might want to do nice things for your children, but it would give her way more joy than it gives you. You also get the pleasure of actually seeing them dye eggs, find them, etc. If she wants to buy things, let her have some fun.

My mom is you MIL. I send her my kids Christmas list as ever year. I don't buy a thing. She wraps the gifts, and even puts from mom/dad on a few. LOL Doesn't bother me one bit. I send her sizes for every season and she mails us clothes. When I see something in particular I want for my girls, I send her the link and she buys it. When we get it, I say look what grandma got you! It works for us. Good Luck. [/quote]

Also forgot to say that I once asked my mom about not buying and instead saving for their college fund etc. She replied " I do the shopping so that you can save. That's your job" [/quote]
