Sheryl, have that discussion with your brother. My brother was the oldest on both sides of our families and our mother announced to all (us and all aunts/uncles) that the gifts should stop from aunts/uncles when he graduated highschool and she planned to do the same with the remaining nieces/nephews.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bah! Just lost power. Hope it’s not apocalyptic.

Hope you get power back soon, Hec.
Family gifts can be fraught. We’re all on the same page re: nephew and niece gifts (they get something, but it’s usually small), my nephew’s gift is still in transit. Now that I live half an hour from him, it’ll be easier to drop it off later.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy birthday wishes being sent out today to Quester and Emily! I hope you are being spoiled today and that the following year will be filled with happy surprises.
I've always been very random with family gifts, so no one has expectations. Random includes just sending something when I see it, no matter the time of year.
