Faith:
I had always assumed they sent him gifts because Dumbledore went out of the
way every year to send them an owl, asking if they wanted to send a gift to
their nephew. So they sent little junk, rather than not send anything and
risk Dumbledores wrath.
Me (izaskun):
I agree with you, and that'd explain how the Dursleys manage to send Harry the presents, they couldn't do it by muggle post, and they certainly don't own an owl. This is something that had been bothering me since I first read the books, because it was never explained, and somehow I couldn't picture the Dursleys trying to find out by themselves how to send Christmas presents to their "beloved" nephew.
Cheers. Izaskun
