Hi A., I have to say I agree with Peggy. Sometimes we just can't, for whatever reason, send gifts for every birthday. My children are all grown with children of their own, and so to send a gift to just all of them would involve over 30 gifts(excluding my own siblings), and that is just birthdays. I tend to concentrate on gifts for Christmas, especially for the children and send cards and even E-Cards for birthdays. They are cheaper to mail, also, and you can get some really neat free E-Cards, so not even the mailing cost. Or, maybe using some of the materials you have you could make the cards, even more special. Especially if they are for fond uncles or grandparents, have your two year old put in his bit. Believe me, grandparents value anything sent by a grandchild. My 8 year old grandson sent me a card (printed paper) saying "Happy Thanksgiving" on the front, which he colored with varied stripes. Inside he wrote "I love you Grandma" It is hanging above my desk this very moment and my daughter will probably find it there when I die. Your son isn't so old, but even a two year old loves coloring or painting a "picture". It really is true, it is the thought that counts. Just relax and enjoy those babies. G. F.
