This year's theme is non-chewable giftsforkids, which means more videogames and baseball bats and fewer small toys and shirt sleeves that can go into their mouths.
Gifts to grandkids can be even more effective than gifts to kids because the generation-skipping tax (an extra tax on gifts made to grandkids) lapsed for 2010 too.
Last year, I found, paid for and mailed giftsfor my parents, my four brothers and their five kids, my two secretaries and my three best friends all in less than two hours.
