Default Re: Internet/Catalog sources for Xmas presents

I'm a big fan of Amazon gift certificates and make frequent us of them for B-days, graduations, etc. Unfortunately, most all of my nephews and nieces are married with varying numbers of offspring. I think there's about 40 of the greats. My sister sends each of the young ones a few bucks individually packaged in those $$$ gift envelopes. I, on the other hand, try to send a family gift regardless of whether the family is just the 2 adults or if it includes 5 kids. So for me, a gift that's fairly large but easily divided is mandatory. It works really well if I find an item for the season that comes in 2 or 3 sizes. The singles and childless couples get the small size, the 2 or 3 kids get the medium, and the baby factories get the large.
