So I have a sibling who lives 200 miles away. We both have 3DC but hers are grown up with DC of their own but mine are still young. At the moment I buy actual gifts for my great nieces and nephews and give gift cards to dsis and her DC. She is fussy to buy for so giving a gift isn't an option. Same with my nieces and nephews.
Did buys a small gift for me and more for DC mainly from charity shops) but TBH we really don't need more stuff and at least half ends up back in the charity shop.
I also now have an additional niece to buy for do it is getting expensive.
Wibu to tell her that next year I will just be buying for great niece and nephew and to suggest that we no longer exchange gifts.

Additional great niece.
Tbf Parr of me us wary of suggesting this as I think she is happy with the arrangement as it is.

Part of me is wary.

Just stop gifts altogether. Buying for great nieces isn't in the usual range.

I do children of our siblings only (so nieces and nephews). And only until 18. And both our parents. I also do my daughters best friend and her toddler daughter but they spend a lot of time with us.

It was so liberating when I stopped.
