[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 642349"] I haven't stopped. This year we're trying the 4 gifts of Christmas - "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read," really bc it helps me with ideas and I like structure of it! But we really don't buy much for the kids through by the year. difficult child gets birthday presents & Xmas presents and that's it. Pc20 get a small allowance while at school and I send him small care pkgs once a month - and while I am willing to buy his clothes and shoes, he rarely takes me up on it. I'll admit that I am spoiling pc17 a bit this year but he's the only one home. He also doesn't ask for much and is always appreciative and for the first time in years we have extra spending money - so it's been fun to do so. He's also super busy- has a job, volunteers numerous places, plays a sport and excels In school so I like to make his life a little easier when possible especially since I'm working a ton of hours away from home. We also save the bigger ticket items that the kids "need" for gift giving occasions. We bought tools for difficult child last year which he needs for work. Pc17 needs a new laptop for college next year- so that's his gift. [/QUOTE]
