Holiday

[Bettyanne]

I wasn't sure where to post this question 

i have adult childres who i have always gone over board buying  presents

 I am going to have to cut back which i really hate to do..

but   just wondering what you usually give to your adult childen for Christmas?

I give everyone cash except my friend who is in a senior care home.

It's easy and appreciated.  Everyone can get what they want...I never have to do returns or waste my money on things they don't like/want.

My parents always did the same.  I was very grateful.

Amazon gift cards

My family consists largely of forty-something adults who've done well and have everything they need so gift-giving is now limited to the younger kids only.  Gag gifts for the adults.  I think many families now do this.

My daughter is a big Amazon shopper so I give her a gift card and let her shop for herself and she loves it. For my son and grandson (his 24 yo son ) they are big Steelers fans so last yr I gave them Steelers team shirts which they loved. I will probably give them gift cards this year, it's just easier to let them shop for themselves and they love it as well and no stress on me.

I give gift cards and checks. My youngest daughter is 34. She likes this. My oldest daughter and her husband are well established in their careers. I give them a gift card to their favorite restaurant. Neither of my girls need or want anything. But every year since they were young I have given them pajamas. I think if I stopped this they would probably ask me "what no pajamas this year?' It's just a tradition.  I also give everyone in the family 5 scratch off lottery tickets. We all have a great time scratching off numbers and hoping for a big win. For us Christmas is getting together for a good time and a great meal. Presents not necessary.

Adults in my family do not exchange gifts.   We just buy for the children

Sadly, the last few years the adult children have asked only for grocery store and gas station gift cards. I have given gift cards to Omaha steaks.

Not even Amazon, etc.

If you actually want to gift something, a Holiday ornament, holiday chocolate or other holiday dressed treats would be nice.

Food like from Omaha steaks is nice.

You can send a small amount of cash or small amount gift card from Amazon or another place they shop.

If you just can't afford gifts this year, I would just tell them, send a card.

I give them gift certificates to their favorite deli-bakery, I know they will be used & enjoyed.
