You didn't tell us why it is you don't want your brother to do this. Unfortunately, there is no tactful way to tell your brother your preferences, because gifts are voluntary, and coercion is bad manners. If he asks, you are free to tell him what your children do want, rather than what you don't want.

Ooo, this one is different. Does he usually buy for the kids? If so, maybe just in conversation someday, try to steer it towards Christmas and then if successful get it around to want the kids enjoy and maybe throw in a few names of games, toys or whatever that they are wanting. Hope this helps and good luck.

tell him that you no longer shop at walmart because you don't agree with their politics.
worked for me...but i actually DON'T agree with walmart's politics.

why cant you just be grateful for a gift? if you don't want them to have it donate them to people that could use it.
