[QUOTE="witzend, post: 369031, member: 99"] It depends upon what they deserve and what they need. No one is going to stop by my house on Christmas to pick up gifts. If they want to invite me to a Christmas celebration, I will celebrate with them with a gift. They're always very keen to tell me how busy they are with their other families and my family and if coming to my house is a problem, it's one they can avoid. For birthdays, I tend to do something that they need that can't be sold. I'm glad you brought this up because M's 24th is coming up soon. Last Christmas we did get him a cell phone so he could avoid that bill and we could stay in touch. L got a book by an author she always reads, and brunch for her and her now ex for her last birthday. I refuse to get them "status" gifts. But if they're being awful to me, they can go without. It won't kill them. Judi's suggestions are all very good. [/QUOTE]
