" My mother-in-law often gives my children expensive gifts they don&amp;#039;t really need. Can we suggest other ideas, like cash for college or tickets for an experience such as a play? Many grandparents love to shower their grandchildren with elaborate gifts. You may certainly say something, as long as you do so respectfully: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re always so generous! We&amp;#039;ve now decided to tone down presents for the kids, and we wonder if you&amp;#039;d be OK with offering a monetary gift toward their college fund or tickets to that great new musical.&amp;quot; But remember: Ultimately, the choice of what to give is your mother-in-law&amp;#039;s.
