What do you spend on siblings/in-laws birthdays? Gift cards vs. gifts?
Hi, I have been wondering what OTHER people spend in this situation. Note: I am trying to simplify my life, but still maintain being nice to people.
My husband’s family consists of now 11 people (including 2 babies and me), plus my mom makes 12. There’s a lot of gifting going on: birthdays for every adult and baby, mother’s day, father’s day, and Christmas, but they’ve simplified Christmas to a grab-bag.
-What do you spend on your siblings or in-laws birthday? Is it a gift card or phyiscal gift?
-(I used to spend -30 off Amazon per person but I am reducing it or going to gift cards.) Which do you think is best? gift card, gift card, or off amazon wishlist (given it adds up to for free shipping)?
-What do you spend on a related baby’s/infant’s birthday?
I just bought slightly less than for the infant’s upcoming bday.
It’s just every second I turn around there’s another birthday it seems, so your input is appreciated.
