OK I have to go now, but I will think on this and come back in full swing tomorrow!!! Thanks Jenne!!! I'm going to try to convince my famdamnily to go present-less for adults. I already have one brother practicing this anyway. He's just a flake, but still, it's so lame, this obligatory "get me something I don't have" fest. These are also the types of gifts I wish I could give my hoity-toity inlaws who only shop at Neiman and Sacks. "Oh, you got me a worthless piece of china I'll never use? THANKS--have an 'AS SEEN ON TV' quality garment--it's called a Snuggie!'" lmfao

Good luck with that. Every year I keep telling my parents that they don't need to get anything for us but they just insist.

Well, the buying for the kids, that's cool. I don't want to shortshrift my kiddos. But WE don't need anything...and I'm tired of the rest of the family putting on this guilt trip over it.

We only buy for kids until they are 12 then they go on the birthday card only list, we stopped buying for each other years ago. With 12 of us left it was insane. My one brother, who had 6 kids, was told to keep it in his pants or his kids were cut off after the 6th.

This is something you don't buy for someone you hate, you buy it for their kids.

And now my family just looks silly-stupid complaining about us THREE kids and then our resulting and collective *gulp* EIGHT. Eight little creatures we created among the 3 of us...amazing. LOVE the drum set, Witchy. Those things are expensive, though--my niece actually wanted one about 5 years ago...I tried to help her out and at least RENT a set--it cost the EARTH!

I found the boy child's set at a pawn shop, it wasn't too bad, expense wise. It was very basic and we added to it later.
