Yes. My sister and her husband are getting a new luggage set, I got an awesome deal on a 4 pc samsonite set for $89. My SIL is getting a pottery barn knit throw blanket. My BIL will probably get a giftcard to JCrew and somewhere else..he likes to shop. My brother is 16 but he is getting cash because he will be looking to buy his first car soon when he gets his license in April.
No, we decided a few years ago with my younger sister and her husband that we were not going to exchange. We buy for their daughter. I do get a little something for my older sister from DS because she doesn't have kids and she goes crazy when buying for DS,
Yes, I purchase gifts for my sister and her fiance and my brother, but we don't purchase for my Husbands side. They don't really do anything together anymore after his mom's death.
My brother doesn't speak to me, and last time we saw him at Christmas we gave him and his wife a gift and they didn't give us anything. We won't be seeing them this year, so it's not an issue. DH's brother lives at home, and complained about our gift once, so we give him a gift card. I can't remember if he gives us anything. Probably signs the card from his parents. We have sucky siblings. Anyone want to swap?
Not for my brother, but we do it with DH's sister. It gets harder and harder to get her stuff (nothing expensive). We usually do an assortment of food gifts, and I think we're gifting her a ticket to a show this year.
TTC since 10/2008 RE consult 6/2010 Dx:Unexplaied IF
Failed multiple cycles of Clomid+TI and Clomid+IUI
I have six siblings so we draw names among the six of us, my DH and a friend who is like a sister. DH has one sister, so we do something little for her, too.
DH doesn't like his sisters so we didn't buy them anything. His older sister did get our boys some pjs so we bought their girls something they needed, but as for the adults...nope. Now my sister always buys us presents so I'm making her a UGA fleece blanket
We do white elephant exchanges on my side of the family. DHs moms side draws names. DHs dads side used to buy for everyone, but this year we are trying the white elephant thing.
My family, yes, but it's just my sis and bil. We set a spending limit. Dh's family, no. It's just his sister and bil. I'm okay not getting Bath and Body Works gift sets anymore... Lol At one point I could have opened my own store.
