Christmas gift suggestion: New Nephew....


My wife and I were just married. I've known the kid since he was 1, and he's now 8. However, this is the first X-Mas as his Uncle.

I bought him a gift that was adjacent to his gift list, which his parents thought he'd like. However, it's Star Wars Legos, and he has enough already to start a museum. It's actually nauseating.

I found a second gift that is a build kit droid, which I think is way cooler, and I'd actually feel great giving him. The two gifts combined are more than I've spent on myself, or anyone else has spent on me in my entire life.

Should I return one, or give him both, because I'm just trying to buy some goodwill? The sad thing is that this kid is so spoiled that he probably won't appreciate either.

I'm new to the rich people gift game....
