I sent the reply text this morning, basically the toned down version that GKM suggested. I received a immediate response.
"It's probably because you are a better person than I. Do what you want."
I am assuming this is addressing the gift portion of her original text and original issue. Since I am not positive, and there was no need I did not reply. I have decided not to buy gifts for her niece and nephew. If it is a way to respect her boundaries I will do that. Actions not words.
It is intriguing how our last few interactions have went. She seems to be reacting to me, rather than me reacting to her, as it was in the beginning. I am thinking that it comes with the detachment process. I am nowhere near detached, but I am getting there. Albeit slowly, although I beleive it is probably best to happen slowly.
