My little brothers are 19 and almost 21. When they were little I bought them gifts for bdays, and when they were teens I sent $ in a card.
The 21 yr old is in Korea and asked me if I wanted LV or Coach bags for my bday (well made knock offs). I mentioned a Coach diaper bag would be great of he can find one! The boys don't usually buy me gifts (mom always signed their name to a card), so I thought now that they are adults I would stop buying or sending $ and just send a card.
My step siblings and I do not exchange bday gifts anymore by mutual decision.
If you have siblings, do you still buy them gifts for birthdays?
Re: Do you give bday gifts to adult siblings?
I only have one younger brother, and we exchange birthday gifts. I also buy a gift for my SIL, and they buy for DH too.
DH does not exchange w/ his brothers and sisters (he has 5)... he's not very close with them though. His younger brother was in Buffalo for his 21st birthday, so we took him to dinner and bought him a bottle of booze. I have to remind DH to even call his siblings on their bdays!
