As you may know, I haven’t seen or spoken to my sister since my wedding b/c of her behavior. She has never called to apologize. In fact, she hasn't called at all.
With the holidays coming, I will obviously buy her kids gifts BUT I wonder: am I supposed to get her a Christmas present? I’m thinking no. Is that cruel? Is she going to buy me one? Do I just keep a generic gift on-hand in case?
Plus she didn’t give me a wedding present. Not even a card. Unless you count leaving my wedding a gift… which, now that I think about it… might have been a present in itself. But seriously, do I get her anything? I’m stumped.

Re: What would you do?
If I were you I would get the kids something like you normally do and I would give her a christmas card with a picture of your daughter in it! or a framed picture of your daughter & a card... I would leave it at that ~ so just in case she has a little something for you you have something for her...
Good Luck!

Difficult decision, but I would send her children presents, and then send her a present as well without expecting to receive a gift in return. You can be the better person.
yep. i think it would be a shock to your sister & make you the bigger person. my mom always told me 'Kill 'em with kindness' and its never failed! It'll definetly get your sister thinking about her being in the wrong.

I'd get a SMALL 'backup' gift... If you're feelin spunky, give it to her and be the bigger woman

I wouldnt get her a gift, I would just buy for the kids and call it a day. If you are most likely not going to reconcile with her then no need to even attempt to let you hand out to her

I agree.

Re: What would you do?
I would definitely give gifts to your neices/nephews. ITs not their fault that their elders argue, and it will hurt them (and your relationship with them) not to give them something.
I would definitely NOT give something to your sister, unless of course you feel like you really want to.
