[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-  I love reading these suggestions (thank you Nanny poster!) and hearing that others find this a little bit irritating too.  I can relate to being asked to supply every single idea and feeling pressured for it to be a "good" one bc the grandparents get disappointed if the kids aren't over the moon.  One year I was also asked to wrap other people's gifts after researching and finding everything but I must have been visibly sour about it because that hasn't happened since haha.

Thanks to everyone who comisserated with my light-hearted early holiday gripe.  I will pay it forward in this board in December.[/quote]

[b]OP, FOR SURE - keep 2 of the best ideas for YOU and your partner to give to your children.[/b]  Grandparents get to give things, but parents might want to give the big thing, or the special thing, so don't share that with them!  So a special dress, a camera, a special necklace now that your child is XX years old... that is all for YOU to give, so keep that a secret from the grandparents![/quote]
