bluedolphin the amount isn't important.


Christmas isn't about spending money.


Spend what you can afford, don't worry about what others spend.

£50 tops per child (usually about £35-40 + stocking filler type things). They are 17, 15, 13 and 1.

About £20 each on the kids and about £40 on each other-grown up gifts just cost a bit moreGrin

TBH me and dh dont really buy each other much,we spend about £250 on each of the dc (theres 3 of them) and maybe £20 on each other, we usually buy ourselves something in the sales (bought a new sofa in jan last yr,this yr it will be a new car :) )

We usually set a budget depending on how flush we are feeling and we have to buy a couple of things to open. This year its £30 as we have recently had to buy a new laptop.

We are also each buying £30 of pressies for DS (9months) so that we have more surprises - did this last year when I was 6 months pregnant (as we had not bought anything at that stage) and it was really nice.... and worked out well as he was born at 33 weeks and I spent all of January in and out of hospital
