I'm jealous of you there. I wish I could get my in-laws to agree to buying fewer things and less more focused gifts.
My in-laws are great people, but very much work on the gifts=love mindset and it also seems like their tradition is having a large amount of cheaper gifts so there are lots of presents under the tree which they like.
This is all very sweet, but then we tend to get fewer higher priced items we need and more smaller items which we don't need and also leads to my wife feeling like she must keep up too given that in the family we are likely the most financially secure and I suspect she would feel guilty.
A good example is this year we probably spent over $1300 on the 6 people in the family including ourselves. I would rather have a $100 per person limit and fewer, but bigger items within that limit, but I feel they would not be happy with this since it would be the opposite of their tradition with having a large tree with a huge amount of packages below the tree.
This year my wife told them that we wanted less stuff that would clutter our house and less than a week later my MIL asked her if I would like a calendar at which point my wife had to argue with her that I did not need one and chances are I will still get one on Christmas.
Growing up it was the opposite in my family, we grew up with a larger family and not too much money so we got fewer gifts, but generally a lot of thought went in to those few gifts. Due to this I appreciate a small amount of thoughtful gifts more than sheer volume.
