Is it okay to stop birthday and Christmas gifts after my nieces and nephews turn 18?

[Auntietoseven]

I am the childfree aunt. I am single. I live alone. I work an admin role. (Think that's the context set !)

I have four nieces and three nephews to whom I have always given £25 each at xmas and £25 each at birthdays (£1,225 a year). I know it isn't loads but they do always say thank you - no issues there or anything. They are very polite and lovely children!

Unfortunately I am not really able to spend on them in other ways throughout the year, because what I do for one, I have to spend the value by x7 to make sure I am fair to them all! So it wipes out spontaneity.

For the 18th birthday of each (first one in turning 18 January) I was planning a larger gift (perhaps £150) and then no further gifts as they're into adulthood.

As parents, do you think this mean or is it okay?

I think it’s absolutely fine. We stopped at 18 in our family which was a relief as I have 11 nephews and nieces.

They had a bigger present at 18 and then nothing regular.

Your siblings are shits.

Don't wait until their kids are 21, stop at 18.

We’ve got eight of them plus two of our own children, and it all mounts up. Will def be stopping at 21 (for the nieces and nephews, not our own kids!)

Yeah, £150 is a lot, OP. Just give £50 for their 18ths.
