But what we have done on both sides of the family this year is we each give 5 pounds to each child and then the parents use the total to buy a bigger gift, save it or spend it on a Christmas experience. We used the money to take the kids on a Santa train. So far everyone is loving how much money it has saved us all!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-niecesnephews-are-you-buying-a-gift-for/page/2#post-2666960 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 02:50:19 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2666960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are the only grandkids, but we buy for my cousins kids</p> <p>6 yr old girl: shopkins set that you have to build.

Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-niecesnephews-are-you-buying-a-gift-for/page/2#post-2666855 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 14:07:04 +0000 Charm54 2666855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: we have the regular seat. It's been a toy that has grown with my girls and because it's so open ended they play with it in different ways. My 14 month old puts it upside down and hides her toys underneath it , puts her toys in to spin, and she sits in it. My 3 year old uses it to be a monster (puts it on her head lol), rock her dolls, give her magic clips baths, spin in it and stand on it like "rock". It's an amazing imaginative toy that they are constantly finding new uses for as their imagination develops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-niecesnephews-are-you-buying-a-gift-for/page/2#post-2666141 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 18:39:40 +0000 codeitall 2666141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since there's only one 4 month old niece right now, we're getting her a cute set of pajamas I found on clearance. Next year I'm going to push for not giving gifts to nieces/nephews because we'll eventually be like oliviaoblivia's family!</p> <p>Ironically it is a source of tension in my husband's gift-obsessed family because his mom and sister still get presents for all the nieces/nephews (and their spouses!) and want to stop but neither are willing to talk about it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-niecesnephews-are-you-buying-a-gift-for#post-2666121 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 17:58:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2666121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero!</p> <p>There are 18 of them ranging from 17-43.

He's getting an Ironman action figure b/c he's obsessed with all things superhero, and I got her a Skip Hop water bottle with an owl on it. It was between that and something impractical like an adorable sparkly little girl's purse b/c she loves that stuff - but my sister said she'd prefer the practical gift. :silly: </p>
