Christmas Gifts
Do any of you have age cut off's for gifts for nieces and nephews? In my family Aunt's & Uncles did give gifts to us kids, Presents came from Parents and Grandparents only.

We just started drawing names for Jim's nieces and nephews. Shopping for 7 kids was getting really costly and time consuming.
On my side, there are only 2 other kids, so it's pretty easy to manage.
We're pretty close to our nieces and nephews, and we like to give gifts to them.
The kids will get gifts from us until they graduate from HS.
That's what we do, but I wouldn't feel pressured to give gifts to yours if you're not into it.
DH and I were just talking about this last night. I have 8 nieces and nephews on my side, he has 0. We are thinking the cutoff is 13 because the older ones have become...greedy. I actually got an email from my 15 year old nephew asking how much I am spending on him this year because he wants some expensive gifts. Um, really?!
I am close to all my nieces and nephews and started buying gifts for the oldest ones because their mom was a single mom and in financial trouble. DH thinks we should re-think this "tradition".
I have4 biological nieces/nephews. They are the only ones I buy for and usually it's a $10 gift.
