If anything u should get her something from the kids and thats it. Nothing expensive and something very small that the kids picked out.

I would take the kids shopping and let them pick out gifts for their mother to give her. If you think you are going to get back together with her, then buy her something, if you are never going to get back together, then maybe only buy her something small with not a lot of meaning. It shows the girls that you have to be giving, and help them though a difficult time. The holidays are hard on kids. You also have to think about when you both move on to different people if the gift giving will cause problems in the future.

My first thought was no, you guys are x's, and that's just odd. BUT, I honestly can't stand my x, he's a real piece of work, so my opinion might be biased lol.
What I would do, is a nice christmas card, and maybe a giftcard for the kids favorite restaurant. That way it's for everyone, and not personally just for her. It doesn't have to be expensive either, if the kids love Mcdonalds for example maybe put enough on the giftcard for 2 trips. You're helping her out since she does have your daughters, but it is in no way personal, and really just another gift for your kids!

Don't. If you do, she'll be posting a question on YA that would go something like this:
"My ex husband gave me such and such for christmas. We are on talking terms, but this gift tells me he wants something more. Should I go back to him?"
Don't move her floor. We can interpret things in sooooooo many wrong ways.

If it was me I would take my daughters shopping and let them pick out gifts for Mom and then put from everyone on them. That way you are included in it but not the only one giving the gift which she might interpret wrong.

I would buy her a gift but make it from your daughters.
By the way, thats great that you are both mature enough to keep the peace for your girls. Good for you.

If your daughters are young...take them shopping and let them get gifts for their mother...and make it understood that the gifts are from them....

You can send a card, and perhaps a small gift. This is out of courtesy, not a relationship.

get her something that she can use. Maybe not something too fancy but if she wants something like a new shirt or something get her that.
