Normally FH and I buy gifts for everyone. well with our upcomming wedding and other bills. We are cutting are holiday shopping list down. Of course we are going to buy for our son he wants: bakugan action figures, bike, board games, movies. But then there are the nieces and nephews. All togethor we have 3 nephews and 3 nieces. None of which are even close to school age. Do you think it's ok if we were to give them a pair of pj's, a book, and and homemade cookies (which I do evey year)? I am not sure if this would be tacky. Here are the ages of the kids 2 of them are 1 yrs. ols, 2 are 3 yrs. old, 1 is 2 yrs old and the other is 4 yrs old. At first i was only going to shop for my son. But this year Christmas dinner is at my house. So I figured that it would not be nice not to get them ne thing.

I would love your feed back, and any suggestions.

Also how are all of you cutting back on holiday shopping? And who all are you buying for?

I am def buying a gift for my nana. Because she is always there when I need her. But she is easy I am going to get her a Dove body wash set from Walmart they are only $10.00 But she loves those things. :)

cutting back to home made gifts or tiny things is not tacky besides they are all under 5 they just love being able to open gifts...
I think that is a great (cheap) idea.. the kids don't know any different if you spend 50 bucks or 5 bucks.. so clothing is well needed, (even PJ's) a book is always great especially at such young ages soo many different types of books you can choose from, learning different things, animals, abcs' colors. ect.. soo that sounds great to me.

FH and are are beyound BROKE... there for we are getting cheap things (like usual) but still they either appericate it or not thats there own fault.. its the thought that counts.
the guys usually get shower things like the shaving kits and stuff.. (I have 4 brothers but will only be buying for 3) but the 4th guy would be my brother in law, and then my sister, my parents, my neice (13) and newphew(15) whom are very very picky so we oppted out to get them any thing, except for a gift card of 10 dollars, usually 20 but thats all we can do. so be it..  he has 2 brothers and a sister and then 1 neice and newphew that he gets to see, and others he dont get to see so we don't really buy for them. then his parents.
My parents said to worry about saving for our own place and whatnot and not buy them anything. (thats just the way my dad is) we have been staying here and are very thankful and appericate every single second they allow us to be here. Come April parents are moving out of state, and we're staying here soo we got to get on our feet.
We simply chopped most gifts and are doing gift cards. Maybe even a lottery ticket or two..but thats all we're doing, thats all we can do but even so we can't but we will manage..

Hope this helps in some way...  Soo in the end, we're buying for my parents, his parents, my 3 brothers, n brotheri n law, sister, his sister, 2 brothers,  (forgot new newphew on his side) eeekkk shame on me, baby nephew (I LOVE BUYING FOR BABIES!) and then his neice and newphew and my neice and newphew..
this year we have to also manage to buy something special for my Bridesmaid due to the fact she just announced this past week she's expecting :-D, her and hubby got married last year and been trying since soo out of joy and all I want to buy her something along with a little baby basket full of things.. I love the bath stuff in a basket, I think you can never get enough of those....
Same with the shower gel and lotions for girls in the family..

Ok this is long sorry..

I think your ideas are fine.  We only bought for our kids.  And we are just about finished shopping. We bought one huge gift (A Wii), the two middle kids got a pair of roller skates (with helmets, knee pads and elbow pads), we got about 5 board games, remote control cars, crayola explosion drawing board, and some other things.  We got the baby a Vtech Dancing Learning Toy, some other baby toys.  The only thing left for us to get are a couple of games for the Wii, and some action figures and cars.  I have a couple of toys r us gift cards, so I am going to get a couple things with that and that's it.

We are not even getting things for each other.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! My FH and I pretty much agreed that we would buy each other our wedding bands for xmas, we might get each other something small to upwrap on Christmas but that's pretty much it. We have also agreed that we aren't exchanging Christmas gifts with anyone this year. I might make cookies or something but that's pretty much it. Honestly, people should understand your situation. If they get upset about it or whatnot they don't deserve the gifts you get them anyways. I think it's sad when people forget that you don't HAVE to get them anything. Anyways, I say do whatever you are comfortable with and I'm sure people will understand and appreciate your thought.
