Hi!
So my inlaws are awesome, they have kids who have left school and their ages range from 18 to 24. My kid(s) are 16 6 and zero . In my mind, when you say kid present only" you mean little- teens..... So, I was thinking this year that for the "kids " they might be ok with $$ no matter how much.
However - the requests are

Kid 22yr and kid 18 - " no cash pls, just gift card." (Wtf??) yeah ok,

Kid 24yr and kid 20 - cash please, I am broke and need a holiday . ( ive only had 5 since working there?!)

DH and I have decided over 18s (nieces/nephews) are no longer included.

It is just getting too expensive especially when some of them have partners too.

Once over 18, into the family Kris Kringle they go. It just gets out of hand otherwise.

I think if they're over 18 they should be contributing to the
Kris Kringle.

My nieces/nephews are 4, 8, 10, 12 and 22. Since there is only one that is older I still include them in the gift giving. I buy presents for the youngest and visa gift cards or cash for the older ones as my children are only under school age so I wouldn't have the foggiest what to get tweens/teens.

Child is 0-17.

[mad madam mim]

yeah I think 18 and over aswell.

we only give presents to the kids - and probably up to about age 14 or so. If we were seeing them on the day maybe a voucher after this age.

I don't give my siblings presents. We did secret santa until this year but now everyone has kids we just give kid presents.

My MIL seems to think her 34 year old son likes a stocking full of crap every year........

We cut nieces and nephews off at 18 as well.

I don't have nieces and nephews that age, but I really can't imagine I would stop buying for them because they reach a certain age. I buy for them because I enjoy it, I don't think that will change.

I think if they are buying for your kids, they will be buying three presents yet you will have to buy none, so I would be inclined to continue on that basis.
