If it was the niece who was complaining, I'd stop buying gifts for her. This "I-must-get-something-for-all-these-people-on-my-list" stuff is bullshit (I'm not saying that's what you do, girlfriend--just that we often feel obligated to do the gifting thing, rather than just wanting to do it, ya know?).
However, if it was just your mother's take on it, I'd just stop talking to her on the phone. She was way out of line, especially to suggest you need to take them back and get a "nice toy" instead. Hey, if she wants to get a "nice toy" let HER do it.
