What do you think of this Christmas idea?

Between my family, my husband's family & my best friend's family (she is like a sister to me), there are several children to buy for at Christmas time. So last year, we only bought gifts for the kids and gave goody baskets to the adults. We spent a day baking cookies, making chocolate-covered pretzels, and making our own Chex mix to fill the baskets. It seemed to go over well, so we're thinking of doing the same thing this year. Money is a little tight, because we're going to Florida for a week after Christmas (to celebrate Christmas with his dad's side of the family). What do you think about this? If you knew ahead of time that your sibling wasn't going to buy anything for you for Christmas (but knew you'd still get some yummy treats), would you be upset? Would you be satisfied with something homemade, from the heart? My siblings and I are all adults, me being the youngest at 29. I just don't see the point in stressing out over buying gifts for everyone, especially when money is an issue and each year it's harder & harder to pick out the right gift for each person. I would prefer they don't buy me anything, and I've told them, yet they insist on asking me what I want. So I give up - they can buy whatever, but I'm not purchasing a gift when I want to give something more personal. But what's your opinion on this? What would you do? I'd like to hear what you think about this idea...

That is a though one, but understand where you are coming from. I think the idea of gifts for kids and goodies for adults a brilliant idea. Often as an adult you already have everything, so having something made for you that you can enjoy with the kids is great. If I know my siblings had money problems, I would not be upset by not getting a gift. However, as there are expectations I would indeed do something like a home made gift that is personal. Maybe I would make a gift certificate for every individual. And they can "in" it after the holidays. Do something special which you know they would appreciate and which will be low budget. I know with our family we have agreed just not to buy anything (no kids around). But any of us will bring something with them, often chocolates and alcohol that can be used on Christmas day.
