The gifts for your kids sound really fun! It sounds like your kids like them at least. What brands are the things she got you? They might be nicer Sephora/Nordstrom type brands that you just aren’t aware of (Summer Fridays, Kitsch, etc.)

She got so much for your kids! I would not have bothered with gifts for adults; they are just a waste of money.
What did you get her?

Yeah, no gifts for adults. Kids get presents. I usually will add a "family" gift of homemade cookies, treats some cute kitchen items or I send flowers.

You, an adult, expect presents from other adults? Why?

Is this your brother’s wife, or your husband’s sister?

For a mother I didn't like, I bought her child an ant farm

Eh. It doesn't sound that bad. You're the parent and you can take away the toys.

Did your brother help her with any gift purchasing or was she taking it on for everyone? have a new “kids only” rule from now on.

My family gets along well and we still stopped the adult gift exchange a long time ago. We all buy for our parents, we buy for the kids. Done. So much less stressful. We just prioritize the time together.

I think the gifts to your kids are much more hostile than the one to OP. Instruments? Glitter? Karaoke machine? She hates you and probably your DH too.
