I have this same family problem. My brother did the 529 thing for his kids. Behind my brother's back the most problematic family member in this area was really nasty about it. They were insulted. They went on this rant about how Christmas is "their thing" and they aren't going to let us ruin it by restricting how much stuff they buy our children. I hope this 529 things works for some families, but in my experience it's a failure.
