What was your child's favorite Christmas gift?

But it's coming back now that my children are getting excited about Christmas gifts and I love the wonder of it all as the next present is opened! So, what was your child's favorite gift? Comment if you want to be more specif...

Christmas Day

Not sure if I should let this get to me or not, this Christmas we had his 2 children. I sort all presents/wrapping etc and my family also contributes to presents so they don’t feel left out since we have a 2 month old together..his family don’t do the same. I hate Christmas as it is but I was a little excited it’d b...

Do you get gifts for adult nieces/nephews?

I see my nieces and nephews once or twice a year when they travel for summer or the holidays, and for the past few years I've given them money for Christmas. They 19 - 22 now and finishing school and all have jobs. Would you still give them a gift or phase it out and just do milestone gifts like graduations? The ot...

Am I being petty?

So hubby fully admitted to forgetting to get me gifts this year. He got me one thing but says he just spaced then Xmas was here. He did get 2+ gifts for other friends and family…. I told him it was fine but I think my feelings are actually kinda hurt that he spent more time on others I guess not the gift itself

Anyone else grow up in a 1 present each house and are shocked to see the amounts of presents some people give their kids?

Like you get your kid 10 gifts? You're spending hundreds of dollars on gifts for each of your kids? I've never even thought to get more than 1 each tbh.

Returning gifts

Is there any way to return gifts to Amazon (google image search shows they definitely came from Amazon) without letting the people that have bought the gift know. It says I need the gift number but I don’t really want to have to ask for them. I’ve been bought several duplicates of toys we already have. I don’t reall...

Feel awful

So for Christmas I bought all of our little girls presents. My partner didn’t get a single one, I feel awful that he’s bought her nothing. He said he can’t afford, which I believe, but I still think something small would have been nice? It doesn’t cost much for a gift? He also didn’t get me a present for my birth...
