About presents for our DC?

[Waxahatchee]

I feel resentful and annoyed and wonder if I'm being U.

Both my DDs only ever ask for a few things at Christmas, as they get older there is even less. The thing is that grandad, auntie, granny etc all want to know what to get them so I end up trying to find something I think they will like and giving them that idea or telling them the things they asked for. For example this year dd1 wants books and chocolate and keyrings. Dd2 wants a football, onesie and a squishy unicorn. So all these things have now been bought by relatives and I can't actually buy them something they want!
I know it's not a massive issue but it's hard trying to think of things for them and then having to tell someone else the idea means I have to keep trying to come up with something nice from us!
Am I being a dick?

I mean it can be annoying, but yes this is a bit dramatic over presents. Get them something they may need? What age are the dc? As they get older have relatives get them vouchers

Nah

I used to just tell family and friends to go to a pound shop and buy them some cheap plastic junk like stickers, notebooks, hair clips, bouncy balls etc. They always appreciated getting it, it kept them amused for a while and then it would break in a few days so I could get rid of it. Now all but one are adults and they communicate with family themselves and it's bliss.

Ask family for a token gift and cash. Put the money in a bank account until they are adults.

I only tell extended family about specific requests if they are not things I'm getting the DC myself.

As the DC got older, my in-laws just give them money and chocolate and my parents get them books or clothes (the clothes are usually "wrong" but they buy them for mainstream shops so we can swap them!). Something like that might work?

Get them nice clothes, coats, boots, whatever.

You could give them a day out of their choice (within reason).
