How much do you tend to spend on your dh for Xmas and birthdays ?

[Lipglosser]

We've always not spent much as preferred to spend as much as possible on holidays
but funds are a bit more flush these days

Usually somewhere between £100 and £200 on gifts, plus as his birthday is in the summer we usually use it as an opportunity to go away for a couple of nights with nice meals etc.

Depends what he needs or wants were fortunate to buy pretty much what we when we want it or need it.
I have £100 on my sheet this year may end up being more possibly less.
Spent £2300 the other year when he actually had his heart on something.

£500 ish including a meal out somewhere with his parents.

About 10-20 if I see something.
Sweet f all if I don't see something.
If there is something he wants he buys it regardless of Xmas or birthdays, but even then we're just not that materialistic

Depends on whether or not I can think of anything to get him!
He’d rather have no presents at all, He enjoys Christmas but mainly for the food and hosting and seeing the kids excitement, but he has no desire for material things and he’s always been an awkward man to buy for because he’s not into ‘stuff’ of any kind.
last year at Christmas I bought him a bottle of his favourite cognac which was about £200 and then a jumper I liked for about £150.

for his birthday this year I got him a weather vane for the garden, £150.
This christmas - not a clue!
bit early for me to be thinking about Christmas personally though so I haven’t thought about buying anything at all 😂

It depends what he wants. I wish I could buy him the omega he fancies but one day…..

Exactly nothing!
Same as every year.
His bday and Xmas are one week apart.
My bday is a few days away and from him I expect...
Exactly nothing!
We seem to have done this our whole married life.
We enjoy celebrations with our DCs, and DH loves nothing more then good food at the table with his family around.
Same here.
Sounds cliche to say, but we want for nothing and we are perfectly satisfied with this.

Token gift, think nice fudge, maybe a picture of DD etc. We only do this tbh as DD5 likes to give something. Like OP would rather spend the money on holidays and family days out.

Maybe we shouldn't change much then, dh he's also pretty bad at buying gifts
And he canfeel stressed about it

About £1k at Xmas.
About £500 at birthday.

DH is 40 this year and I'll have spent about £3.5k by the time I'm done

Dh hardly ever wants anything, or if he does (usually specific books) he just buys them.
For 🎄I will typically buy him a lambswool jumper of the type he likes, or sheepskin slippers from Celtic, if his are getting worn out.
I always do him a stocking with e.g new socks and nice nibbles - chocolate, nuts, dried mango and apricots etc.

Maybe £50. I can never think of anything to buy him, he usually asks for specific things which is great as so easy.

£50-£60 on the main present which he will choose himself and then about another £15-£20 on small surprises/treats.

E don’t really buy gifts except for big birthdays. We do tend to have a night away or big experiences though. We can afford it but if we need anything we tend to buy it ourselves from the joint. We’ve agreed no Xmas presents this year and are instead going skiing in feb

I've just spent about £60 on 3 gifts from me and DC

Nothing, we made an agreement around five years ago that we didn't need to do it. If either of us want something we buy it. In fact we don't do it for our adult kids and they don't do it for us. Only one who has gifts is gd

It varies. He usually comes back from the shops and says " I've bought this. You can wrap it up and give it to me."
He also has his birthday between Christmas and New Year.

Same here. We stopped buying presents for each other before we married 30 odd years ago. It started because we were setting up our first home together and very nearly bought each other identical presents.

It takes so much pressure off. There have been times when we could barely afford to buy presents for DCs and now things are easier we tend to buy what we want when we want.

What will you spend 3.5k on

£30 for birthday and £130 ish for Christmas.

Surely we should look to buy an adult a present they would (hopefully) love, not buy by a specific budget. I have bought my husband a £1500 iPhone and on other occasions something for about £25. It depends on what he night want at the time.

Not much…. Up to £50 max usually.

He tends to buy himself things he wants and so has everything already. I get him things like whiskey, or posh chocolate, or a top etc.

We tend to be more about making it special for the kids.

Christmas about £150. Birthdays more with big birthdays up to a couple of grand but this would be a trip away somewhere.

I’m exactly the same, we’re at a stage in life where material things done mean that much. If we need/want something we just buy it there and then. I refuse to buy something just for the sake of it.

Trying to get my mother to accept that we don’t want anything either, she still buys tat, I’ve now told her I’ll just give it to charity, will see what happens this Xmas 🥴

After many many years of not bothering at Christmas, we now have a £50 budget, and approx £150 for birthdays
