I am one of 3 girls but the only one with kids or even a partner right now. My sisters are both very generous and always buy presents for us all, so that's 4 presents they buy for my little family. We buy them a present (or two size and price dependant) each and cannot really afford to do anymore than that due to being totally skint but I always feel really guilty that they spend so much.
I know they are both thinking of chipping in together to buy a joint present for the kids this year. Does it look grabby if I suggest they do the same for me and DH? I hate that they spend so much on us and we cannot reciprocate.

You could suggest they only buy for the dc, but they may well be very happy to continue on as is.

Dh and I bought for both adults and children across two very large extended families for many many years before we had our dc, but we enjoyed doing it and it never occurred to us that there was anything unfair about it.
