Miguel’s mom- I am not sure how old your son is but I can say from my own experience my mother was always obsessed with getting a lot of gifts for my brothers and I well into adulthood. One year she did not have a lot of money because of her own health concerns and expensive medicines. My brothers and I let her know we did not care about the gifts. We meant it. Our biggest gift was the ability to spend Christmas with her. Tbh I actually loved spoiling her at Christmas too! We lost her seven years ago now. I miss her every day. Of the thousands of gifts she bought over her lifetime for me, my favorite is still the painting she made me. If your son likes to unwrap a lot of gifts then I would wrap the things in the loot box.
