Excerpt
Decide upon an amount you want to spend for each person. Now halve it. Instead of $20.00 for each niece and nephew, change it to $10.00. If you go to dollar stores or garage sales, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a cheap toy or book. And the older ones can always use school supplies. Every grownup can use a new kitchen utensil. As for your children and spouse, they likely have too much stuff anyway.
