Clothes for self? £300/400 (have lost a lot of weight so rebuilding wardrobe, plus regularly have work meetings and need to look presentable)

annual Christmas? £2k minimum as I host and we do a lot of festive activities
annual birthdays? £400 on (roughly) 40x gifts for parties DS is invited to, £600 DS party, £200 DS gifts, £1k gifts for my friends/family?
