I would show MIL your budget and say that not everyone is made of money, and if you could afford to give more then you would, but you wont put yourselves behind just to live up to family expectations.

We dont want to disclose our income as such because we are doing fine and dont want people to help us - just quit with expectations of how much money "should' be given to other people.
As soon as we say we cant afford it - MIl thinks we are struggling (we arent we budget well !) and wont let up on giving us money. But we dont want the money.
does that make sense? lol

Either your DH is going to have to have a chat with your MIL or you're going to have to keep doing the nodding & ignoring thing.
I wish you weren't being pressured about money. It really is nobody's business (especially not your MIL's) how you spend your money or how much you choose to spend or give as gifts.
