Our list of nephew and nieces that we give Easter eggs to has grown over the years and we even have great- nephew and nieces (and little sweethearts they are too. )But, the eldest niece is 27, not married yet, then one at 25 living with partner then a batch in their early twenties ( at uni)and late teens and mid teens. My OH says its time to stop giving the eldest ones an easter egg or it will go on forever. ? Should it just be for younger relations? What do you all think? Chris

Oh Chris hard to say, my youngest (26) said instead of an egg how about cooking him and OH a chinese meal lol.xxxxx

I'm not sure they ever really grow up! Maybe we all need to be treated like children over some things. I think my relations stopped giving me Easter eggs when I got married (at 20.) Chris

I gave my two, aged 27 and 31, a chicken money box from Waitrose....cute, had to put money in them for luck........

They dont i have 3 aged 31,29,and 26 and they still say what have you bought me when i have been shopping.xxxxx

I stopped nieces/nephews when they were 13. Birthdays till 16, then I give on their 18/21st. I now have a grand niece, but I am not starting to give to her. You could go on forever. I have a grandson and another on the way, and no doubt there will be more to come, so I will stick to them. But then I am a Scot ! lol Marion

Well my daughter is 18 in Decemeber and son is 20 in June, i'm going to tell them it's their turn to start buying me something for easter instead. I think 18 is the limit, or am I being mean? :) Ria

With nephews and nieces I think i would have stopped at 18. Do they buy you anything? Even a card? Ann Glos

I think distant relatives like great nieces/nephews don't need a load of chocolate from all and sundry. Maybe 18 the limit for those neices/nephews you've been giving to. I think my own children stopped having something, when their children came along.

I would stop at 18 but not if it was my son or granddaughter! Debby

Hi, im 31 and my husband the same age. we now have 2 children and every year our mothers still but us eggs. Being a chocoholic i do not mind one bit!!! lol Kay xxx

My parents still give us eggs - and I'm the eldest at 49! We give my parents a large egg that they both like, but Chris - what about getting the adults (18 and over) in your family a small cream egg each? At least they'll still get one! x
