I totally disagree. It's not a gift for you. [/quote]

As the parent and the homeowner, I get a say in what comes into my house. [/quote]

Exactly. I'm going to look at it first before giving it to my child. If it makes noise, will cause fights, or will cause unnecessary clutter.....well, the child may never see it. So just get them a parent-approved gift already.[/quote]

Op here. Yes, that is exactly why I'm going with cash/gift card. [/quote]

actually, OP, it's not. you're fed up with your sister and want to send cash to prove a point - the point being that it's rude for her to send you a list so you'd rather put no effort into it. don't change your tune and act like you want to send cash to be helpful[/quote]

Op here, I agree with what you wrote. But I do think I already made the effort (not just now but in the past 4 years) and it has obviously caused more trouble than it's with since I got a gift list with links, organized into price points with paragraph long explanations of why she prefers flannel to polyester with the pajama request, for example.
It is easier for everyone for me to send the money prior to the holiday and my sister can get exactly what she wants them to have. Next year and for birthdays she won't have to bother with this level of documentation and sourcing for me. [/quote]
