I have bought my mum and dad two presents. Thinking about giving them £100 each. Is that enough money to give them

They buy me a few presents. i dont think they have spent too much this year ( i hope) i hate them spending too much on me.

I over think christmas presents too much. Have i got enough for them , would they like that. I have asked what they wanted they said they didnt want anything. i had to get them something. What do u think two presents each and £100 each enough??

I really wouldn’t give money.

A present each and a bottle of plonk is plenty.

Don't give them money. There's no joy in that. Christmas isn't about cash. Thoughtful but not necessarily expensive gifts and spending time together is what counts.

Why would you give them money? The presents are enough and perhaps take them out for dinner one evening in the new year.

Would they be expecting money, is this a tradition or anything? If not I would try to just go with a thoughtful gift, you can always keep the gift receipt and say you would not be offended if they wanted to exchange. It's not all about how much you've spent.
