[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a big family.  I don’t think this is hard.  Books are really the answer.  They take up no space, are easily registrable or donatable if you already have it, and you can really never have too many.  Plus kids that age love everything!  (Teens are hard.). 
I’d just say “Thanks for thinking sf is!  Any books are really great.  Otherwise, they really love (pick 1-2 things, like Lego sets or Nats/Caps gear, or comfy play dresses for school or whatever.).”

We don’t really do adult presents in my family but I feel like it’s pretty easy to get a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine or get everyone stasher bags or something practical llle that.  Since this is your mom’s issue I’d get her something like a cashmere scarf or gloves and call it a day.  [/quote]
I find it hard to believe you have a “big family” and aren’t overwhelmed by the gifts. I do and it just multiplies with so many people! It’s so overwhelming. And books aren’t the answer - because grandparents don’t find them “special enough” and because we are all kindle readers ages 12+. 
I wish all gift giving would just end. [/quote]
