How do you nicely limit the gifts from relatives?


My oldest's birthday is in November, and Christmas naturally follows. Some of my relatives will completely shower her with more gifts than we can even physically store in our modest home. My mother-in-law, in particular, buys a ton of cheaply made toys; not only will we have too many, but many of them will not last long.How do we set some sort of expectations, without coming across as being "those parents"?(p.s., I'll be researching a related topic with Halloween and Easter candy; these same relatives seriously gave my daughter several bags of candy last Easter) via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2amgcol
