You clearly don't want to buy this girl a present, so why on earth are you asking?
As said if you feel that hostile towards her then just leave it be. Or do as suggested and tell them how skint you are and your priority os to your opwn kids. Keeping going on about her being a spoilt brat makes you look a teensy bit jealous. I'm guesing you are not a teenager any more.

seems to me that there are more issues than just getting a present for a niece, like oct says, explain your situation..there is no shame in this, plan xmas for your own children and dont fester away with resentment and bitterness, move forward, make xmas special for you and your family.
Im sure everyone would inderstand your position.

Oh dear lord, the poor mite is only 11. If you want to get back at your ex-husband there must be other ways. But I would suggest with the extent of hatred you have towards her she may well be better off without you.
Either send a small gift and wish her a lovely Christmas from you and your children (her cousins) or explain your situation as said, or just don't send anything and ignore her/them for the rest of your lives.
Once you have decided on that you might want to look at growing up a bit and raising your children to not inherit your petty spitefulness.

if he is no longer with you and you feel the animosty then you dont get them a pressie, in an ideal world you buy the niece a small inexpensive gift or put a fiver in a xmas card.
As you feel quite hateful toward the niece in particular then leave it.
maybe you need to talk to them, it sounds like you dont, you need to remark that xmas will be a small affair as you have just enough to buy for your kids, they will get the message....
kids should never pay the cost for adults arguments

That's okay cazz - I don't always read all the threads myself!
I'm really looking forward to Christmas, although it can be a stressful time leading up to it - that's why it might be best to either buy a token gift, smellies or something & leave it at that - or explain what I suggested earlier about finances, then let the relationship with the in-laws fizzle out.
