Christian Sympathy Gifts

Hi Ladies, I need some of your insight on buying Christmas gift for my older adult children. They are 23 and 25, we do not have the money we used to when they were little. We have been cutting back on everyone. My mom and MIL birthdays are a day apart so I gave them photos of the kids. My husband say's 100 per adult child is what we have to spend. I feel we should spend more. Hubby thinks they are older now and should not expect us to buy tons of gifts anymore. We do have a 13 year old at home that will most likely get what he wants because he is still young. I guess I am feeling a little torn because I do not want them to feel hurt. Would you think its just fine to spend less on the older ones now. Feeling better already, I guess he was right with this one. I know my older ones would be just fine with it.... They will be happy with anything they get. I have always loved to see them open wonderful gifts. We will have a great day together no matter what! They all are very loving children. They are no longer kids. I have eight grandchildren, THEIR children, that I spend my money on. They are adults now; no need to treat them like children! I told my older kids 21, 20, 20, 19 that this year they wouldn't be getting as much. I have younger ones at home 11, 8, 6 and 3 that I was going to focus on. They're fine with it, cause they understand. As an adult child whose parents did the same thing, DO NOT feel bad!! I never felt hurt. As I became my own adult, and as my parents got older and started living off their retirement money, it became obvious to me that they had to stop spending as much on me! It all made sense. It probably will to your kids too : A thoughtful gift that cost little can mean more than something more expensive. Give from the heart and don't worry about the pocketbook. If your children measure your love for them in dollars, then something is very wrong, and spending more on them won't fix it. If they know what true parental love is, they don't care how much you spend on them. She was famous for handmade items she worked on throughout the year, but the store bought gifts were well known too! She started this trend of buying us safety items which many of us still use and appreciate. LED flashlight sets for all over the house. Then she made us things like scarves, hats, mittens, ornaments... Now that she is gone she passed away 5 years ago , we all remember her fondly and how she wanted us to be safe. All of the items are still relevant and useful all these years later! I know I will do the same when my own daughter moves out on her own! We usually get a shirt, sweater or PJs , maybe a book or CD or something they know we wanted, then a family item like game, video game, movies, or movie tickets, etc. They spend a little more on our daughter, even tho she is 18 this year. Good luck and Happy Holidays! BTW, I understand how you feel... I have a 6 yr old and 21 yr old. I think it's perfectly fine. In fact that is what I tried to stick to this year also. We have added two additional people daughter-in-law and future son-in-law and it just keeps on growing. I cannot nor do I want to spend like I used to on all of these people. I would assume the older ones would understand that the 13 year old gets his turn just like they had theirs. We have already decided that next year all the adults in our family my husband and I included are going to draw names and only buy for that person. That way we can have a higher limit and get something they would really want. Of course we all buy for the little ones because they are fun to buy for. Have a wonderful Christmas! Really it is not supposed to be about the presents. If they are working, they understand the value of the dollar. You don't need to measure your love for your children in dollar amounts, and they shouldn't judge you by that. You still have a 13 year old who may need braces or college or things like that. If you need to cut back, everyone needs to cut back - including the 13 year old. Nobody gets everything they want and that's not a good message to give our kids. Perhaps you are crafty? If they have their own homes and perhaps their own Christmas trees, perhaps you can start a tradition of giving them an ornament every year? Did you make cookies or breads with them when they were younger? Will your 13 year old participate? How about a recipe book or recipe card file of family favorites now that they have their own homes? Have you tried consignment shops? They have many many things, often brand new, which are very inexpensive. If your kids are not grateful for what they have and what they have already received, then you can't buy their good will by throwing more money at them. But if they are good and decent people who appreciate their many opportunities, they will not measure you by the price tags on your gifts. My SS is 22 and my SD is 18. They would certainly understand us focusing on their little sister and buying them less. If you cut back in general, look at what what your 13 yr old son REALLY wants and focus on a few key things vs everything. If you feel you should spend more, ask yourself why? And if it's quantity that you're after, you can find ways to stretch a dollar. I don't care if my DH buys my sweater on sale. I don't think your older kids will care, either. And if they do, they need to grow up. We no longer receive gifts from my ILs, who are on a fixed income. Instead, we host a family lunch with DH's side of the family and mostly just exchange gifts for the kids, play games and enjoy each other's company. I wish my parents would not spend on us adult kids at all but they insist. Once you are over 21 you should not expect to receive an expensive gift from mom and dad as you are the adult. It is a nice gesture but when do you stop when they are 21 or do you continue it until they are 50? There has to be a time stop. The extra money spent on adult children could be put to better use for a trip or retirement. If you are cutting badk on the older children you could also cut back on the younger one. Get him a large gift and a few smaller ones. It is time that we all get back to the reason for the season. I will get off my soapbox about the expense and craziness for this time of the year. When my parents pick out and buy my gifts it is hit and miss whether I like or need what they bought me, then I have to pretend to be thrilled to recieve it while hoping I can return it without them noticing, LOL! When I was married to my first husband we always gave my MIL a carton of cigarettes with a Hundred taped to it.... It's just so easy to go and get what you really want when you have money in hand.

From ordering right down to quick shipping I highly recommend this for yourself or as a si. There has to be a time stop.

The engraving option on the website was down when I placed the order, so I called Forever Child directly, and they were very civil in taking my order over the phone. I will always treasure this necklace. One can think about the same way. In fact that is what I tried to stick to this year also. When Christmas is fast approaching, be sure to take advantage of that your son will el.
