  I get bad anxiety that I haven't done enough or that they recipient won't like the gift.  I am so glad that we drew names this year and set a limit. It takes away a tons of the anxiety.  My grandparents give all of the adults $100 each, so essentially they spent $200 on MH and I.  I didn't spend that on them.  I don't even know what I would buy them for that amount.  That makes me feel bad too.
  

  I do feel this way about my youngest niece too.  I bought each of the girls (3 sisters) 4 things, but feel like I did the least for her.   They all share everything, so it is hard buying for the youngest.  They already have it all.  I told my sister this and she agreed.  It made me feel a little better.  The niece is only 21 months, so I guess she really won't know the difference.

  I get nervous that they won't like what I have gotten and that it isn't enough too. I made a fun movie gift basket for SIL, and now I think it looks corny and stupid. But at this point there is really nothing else I can do, so I am just going to make the best of it. Also, we were not able to do a ton for DS so I am tempted to buy him more stuff, but I am controlling myself. I know he will get gifts from his grandparents and aunts so that makes it better.
