For my daughter's birthday and other holidays I have found one big ticket item and asked grandparents to go in together to purchase it. Then I ask other family members to get savings bonds for my daughter's college fund. For friends who come over for the party and don't like to arrive empty-handed I request a gently used toy or canned good (in lieu of gifts) to be donated to a local homeless shelter. That usually takes care of it. I have had the same problem with plastic toys accumulating.
