One of the things I bought which I think might be a great idea for OP is a gingerbread house.
Kids love making them and they come in different shapes - houses, cookies, trains, etc.

Happy Holidays everyone!!


I would shut it down immediately if you tried to give my kids 15 gifts. That is more than my kid gets all year. Nobody needs that much.

My nanny often gives my kids fun PJs for xmas. My kids love it and it's not too pricey. Win win. I don't want her spending a bunch of her money on the kids.

I'm giving my nf a personalized ornament. Cost $15 with shipping. Have done this for other families over the years.

I have to agree that is an awful lot. I'm sure it comes from a great place,but I think that's the amount an auntie or grandma would buy.

It teeters on that professional boundaries line, but if her bosses are OK with it then....

I typically do a special activity and a one small gift usually a book or a learning thing they can share like puzzles.

This is not too much.
This is what is called BEING GENEROUS.
I love making making gifts like this person.
Who are you to say it's too much ?
You're very rude !
