[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't handle buying a $1000 worth of gifts as the kids now can pretty much buy most of what they want without a problem. Looking at how other families transitioned to maybe a 1-2 gifts plus a check. Also, how do you handles the $$ amount when some of the kids have real jobs and don't need as much, but still have a some kids still in school with no job. [/quote] You tell them before hand that things are winding down. Ironically, the people with jobs might need more $ than those still at home. Checks should be the same amount for all kids, maybe do stockings and a small gift under the tree, or give them the choice between check or gifts. You should also say you are not expecting any gifts either.[/quote]
