How much do you spend on presents for people

Just curious how much do you spend on each person for their birthday and Christmas? If you have them and buy for them how much do you spend on your DC, partner, parents, siblings, neices and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles, inlaws and friends? Do you roughly match what adults spend on you?

For me i only have a 20 month old dc so currently spend 50 pounds or less (plan to spend more in the future) for birthdays and Christmas. Don't exchange presents with dh we just buy something for ourselves. Parents about 15 pounds each on them. Have no siblings. Don't exchange gifts with my aunts, uncles and cousins for birthdays and Christmas. For mil it's between 20-40. Step fil about 20. Fil and step mil about 10 each (because he is a tight git). For bil between 20-40 and 20 for his gf. Sil about 15 (used to be more but we got sick of the cheap tat she gets us). 15 on DH's gran. 10 on DH's aunt and cousin. We don't have exchange gifts with friends thankfully.

I don't have any dc

Usually 100ish on my dh, roughly 200 on my parentals for Christmas. Plus a few friends I buy for, usually up to 50 quid each time. Dh buys his own family and friends presents. Probably a similar amount though

£100+ for the children and OH, but it depends on what they want eg a new bike or tablet could cost more.

£30-£40 on parents

£20-£30 on siblings, nieces and nephews etc.

£10 on everyone else.

We have a big family and lots of people to buy for but I think we can get something decent for most people around £20 mark (particularly if you know where to look Wink)

£150 ish on DS (6yo). I'm single so no partner to buy for.

£30 ish on parents.

Between £10-£20 for everyone else I have no siblings. I buy for aunts/uncles/cousins/friends on their birthdays but not at Christmas as it gets too expensive, we just buy for the children at Christmas.
