Gift giving question (1 Viewer)

[Wooderson]

My nephew had a baby girl last July. He is the first niece or nephew of my wife and I that has had a kid. The question we have is do we give a Christmas gift to the new baby?

We give gifts to all of are nieces and nephewe's until the age 18.  Are thought is NO on niece and nephew kids gifts as this will eventually get out of control as more kids are born. 

What say you?

I wouldn't except maybe, and this is a big MAYBE, if I saw them in person for christmas.  If I did, it would be a Tubman in a money envelope.

If you're going to be with a new baby on her first Christmas and you're not bringing a present, you have a huge dump in your pants.

Assuming you're not actually celebrating with the nephew and his baby, yes I think you're okay with not sending presents given you've already established having a cutoff point. 

You can always send a present this year to celebrate her first Christmas and stop there while doing the same for future babies, signaling how you're handling this generation. 

My daughter definitely got gifts from my aunt and my wife's aunts that first year but I don't think they have since. Fine by me.

The bold works imo. I know we won't be giving beyond that to the grand nephews and nieces. Unless we see them in person.

Going to go with this. I like the idea of first Christmas.

A nice, simple and inexpensive gift is an ornament with the kids name and "1st Christmas + date" or something. My kids are 14 + 10 still love seeing the ones they got for their 1st christmas when we decorate the tree. 

you can make that your thing for any great-nieces/nephews moving forward.

Nothing says baby's first Christmas like a live lobster.
