my sister and her family have always received more money and more gifts from us in the past... my sister cannot afford to spend on us, and does not want to.. she hates buying gifts, it causes her stress. so, she just receives gracefully and happily....
i would simply tell your cousin, that you really appreciate the gifts, but, your new budget only allows you to spend so much on gifts... and i would creatively send more cost effective gifts...
when we were small, our mamo had a zillion grandkids, she had remarried afer my papo died, and had step grandkids too... she simply sent all of us a $1 bill in a nicely worded card, for xmas and birthdays....
you have to take control of your budget and stick to your guns... hope this helps....
