I would still give them too..you have spent a lot of time and they are personalised and the joy will still be yours for giving. If they're uncomfortable because they didn't decide sooner, they sit with it.

I would give them the gifts as well. It is all about giving and you did a nice thing. Hugs!

That is sad. I would give the gifts as planned. the kids will be very pleased and happy and probably unaware of the decision of their parents. Gifts for parents if not personalized could be regifted.
If you feel uneasy now, find the youngest child to hand them out. or after all the fun just quietly put them under the tree when you leave. if anything is said you can say that they were from santas elves. no more explanation....let them now feel bad or grinch like

I think you answered your own question.

Sorry this has happened to you,but I would go ahead and give them. A few years back I made 22 Cowboy Boot stockings for family and later found out we were not to be giving gifts to the adults,oh well, I went ahead and gave them out everybody loved their special stocking and nobody's feelings were hurt. Least of all mine.

Thanks.

I'd telephone the SIL and let her know that it's too late to change the rules of the game. Give the gifts that you made and let the love you put into them wash through the entire family. Please have a Christmas that make YOU happy!

I'd give the gifts. If you feel like the reason that your SIL changed the rules now was to upset you, then I would tell DH to deal with his family. He should remind them that they knew you had been working on gifts for a while and for everyone.
