Is this normal? Should I be planning on spending a day in Playa del Carmen shopping for Talavera pottery, bottles of tequila, and Cuban cigars? How much am I supposed to be spending on these things? I had planned on including everything that has been discussed and more in our bags, and price is getting out of hand. Am I supposed to be buying everyone presents as well? It's not necessary but if your mom feels strongly about it just pick up a few inexpensive souvenirs. You can place them in a cute little package (wrap it, bag it, or place a bow on it) and include it in the OOT bag. To me, it's not worth debating. But if you've given in on several of her opinions, you should keep in mind that in the end, you should do what you envisioned.
