DH's family were bought an Oxfam goat the year after that - and nothing since.
:eek: Wow, my children would never even ask for a playstation game off an aunt, not even between them! My parents and in-laws might spend that much sometimes, and Santa might, but the rest of the family, no way! If they ask for ideas they are given cheap ones and I say not to buy anything extra to make it up to a certain amount. My inlaws family still do it though, they think it would be offensive to spend more on one child than another.
How old was your niece? How rude!
I like the oxfam gifts :T FIL got a chocolate goat with his birthday present this year but that was a freebie. They do have small gifts that you can buy, sometimes associated with the gift that you've bought.52% tight0
