How much money do you spend on Christmas gifts?

[camellia0]

I spend less than $300.  More people are not buying gifts in my circle this year.

How ever much I want to. I don't worry about if they spent the same amount on me. That is not what it is about. I gave something to someone a few days ago and they said but I didn't get you anything. I said I don't care. That is not why I done it.

People complain so much about Christmas and I think I have seen it on here as well saying how they can't wait til it is over.  I always hate to see it gone.  I love this time of year.  If you don't want to celebrate Christmas then don't but don't push your hate on everyone else.  If you don't want to buy gifts then don't.  But the rest of the world doesn't have to know it.  As for how much I have spent that is none of any one's business.  Everything I purchased is paid for and how much I spent doesn't matter.

Every year id a little different. It depends on what my kids are into. Some times they are into things that are not that expensive so I may spend more or less one year. It also depends on the amount of people I am getting gifts for. Last year I did not get gifts for my kids teacher, but I did this year because they went to a different school and I really like the teachers there.

$200 for each of my kids, $100 on ds's gf, $20 for each niece and nephew, $100 on dh, $25 for each of the two names we picked.  About $600 by the time it's all done.

Usually $300 each Christmas on the wife... sometimes a little more.

I spent 200.00 have spent more in the past, you know if I had the money in the season I did give. One year, when my kids were young, some how I earned 500.00 I didn't put it in the bank like a normal person, I gave a holiday, I hope they remember me.

About 300 as well.  Did a lot of saving online.

To be honest, I haven’t spent a dime for many years on Christmas gifts. If you have young children in your household, it’s acceptable to buy gifts for them only if money is tight.

Honestly, it depends on the gift.  I really can't set a budget though in my family we really aren't the fancy type.  So during the holidays when I buy a gift, I look for a specific item for a specif person.  When I find that item I look to see who has the cheapest and go from there.  It's not a sky's the limit thing since I don't have very much to spend but I scrimp and save all year so I could have enough to figure out what item I want to get for my family.

The amount of money I spend on gifts vary. This year, however,  I spent much less than last year.
