@jedeve: I love your explaination of why it bugs you. It's exactly right!

For my 18 month old:
Sidewalk chalk
Bubble bath (he hasn't ever had a bubble bath!)
Bunny grahams
A few plastic eggs filled with playdough
Shaker egg (I got this for his stocking but my mom got him another shaker toy, so I saved it and it seems appropriate)
A book? (I think Grandma is getting him one)
Stickers? (If I remember or come across them before Easter) -
My MIL is like this. Just email her in advance and say "here's what I've gotten the kids for (insert holiday)! Just wanted to let you know so we don't have doubles of something. Let me know if you want some suggestions or want to know what LOs are really into lately. We will be opening gifts on this day, at this time, so please bring by your gift to open on that day." Control the conversation and make it seem like you are including her in the plans.

DS is 6.5 months. We got him a noisemaker, bubbles, a kids plate with divided sections (Target $1 bin), a Sandra Boynton board book, a free board book our pediatrician gave us at his check up, a Korean language children's picture Bible and a CD of Korean nursery songs from Grandma, and a Skip Hop rolling floor toy for crawlers (TJ Maxx clearance). Packed with paper grass in a personalized basket and liner (figure he will use it forever).

@jedeve: I totally understand, you have to pick your battles!
I ordered that nature paper, plus a replacement set of the magnetic poetry ABC 123 magnets and my son's basket is DONE!
All I need to do is figure out something for my 2 year old nephew.
