    When do you stop giving gifts?

    Godchildren we stop at 13 for presents. Haven't had the issue yet with nieces and nephews; will probably be around the same timeframe although they may get to 18 before we stop

    When I was growing up we stopped getting gifts somewhere around 16-18. That being said, I have one Aunty who always gave a 'token' gift (ornament, chocolates, small stationary item...). I really appreciated that. I think I will do the same when my nieces and nephews get to around the same age until they stop attending family Christmas gatherings.

    I think you whittle it down
    Start with candles/photo frames and move down the line to chocolate to eventually scratchies in a card.

    Thats how it seems to work for us

    By the time they are 18, they understand its the thought that counts.
