To ask what you usually spend on nieces and nephews. Birthdays and Christmas?

[jeffreeshart]

Interested to know what the "normal" amount is, I'm starting to budget for Christmas our wider family seems to be extending drastically and I'm currently under redundancy consultation so slightly bricking it, as my payout will be bugger all if it does go ahead.

Under 10 - £10. Over 10 - £20 - £30. Now they're over 30 and earn way more than I do - nothing.

Around £15. More for their 18th but will stop when they get to 21 I think.

£30 - £50 each.

Anywhere between £100 and £150 for a normal birthday and Christmas.

Have no niece or nephews but have 3 godsons that I usually spend around £50-70 on depending on what they’re into, the oldest is 7 now so getting into playing the PlayStation so not sure if I’ll up it or not. Yes I know it’s excessive but I can afford it, I just love Christmas!

£35 each for birthday and Christmas. It was £30 for years but we recently adjusted for inflation. There are 9 of them so it adds up. Once over 18 they join the family secret Santa for Xmas so that helps.

£10 till they are 18

Around £10. They are 2 & 4

Birthdays about £15-£20. And Christmas is less, we have a £5 per child rule due to some family members struggling with Xmas costs in recent years. And there are a lot of children to buy for, as the extended family (cousin's children) are treated the same, as we all get together on the same day. We also do a whole family activity such as go to the theatre or something which can cost a bit.

Usually about £50. Started when I only had two but now there's four I wish I hadn't spent so much.

One side £30 cash to £60 gift
Other side £50 cash to £700 gift once

Around £15 each i have 4 dn all under 18, presents in my extended family stop at 18

£20 per person for birthday, same for Christmas

It's all Amazon vouchers now, which I'm kind of OK with, but also seems a bit pointless when I receive the same from them !

We cap it at £10 per child. Though one SIL and I have stopped it now. As the DC get older, it's harder finding things that they'll like for under £10. My eldest nephew is 13 and I've been hoping his for a couple of years as he only wanted PS4 vouchers and they start at £15. None of the DC have noticed. We don't live locally to each other.

My other SIL and I still do it. Still £10 per head. We just put the cash in each others account for the child on their birthday. That way we can either contribute but to a bigger gift, get them something on their behalf, or give them the cash. We're pretty laid back about it.

We are pensioners, on a very low income. For Christmas we give money to each of our children, £10 for each person in the family. They usually spend it on a day out rather than more "things". If you are hard up, I think it's entirely reasonable to say so, and just to send cards. I'd never have minded when my children were small.

We made an agreement years ago that it was to be £20 which stops when they're 18yrs old & we've stuck to it ever since. Families are SO expensive! I always feel a teeny tiny bit peeved that we only have 1 child (wanted more but couldn't) & ALL the rest of the family have multiples, so we spend a bloody fortune compared to some of them.

£15 per head per occasion. Might be £20 for a special birthday.
There are a lot of children to buy for and this seems fair.

Around £20.

£25 per child each Christmas and birthday. There are four of them. All under 18... I may stop then.

I only have 1 neice and spend around £100-£150 on her, reason so much is i have 5 children and my brother has always given them £30-£40 each.
My eldest is now 20 and this year i told my db just a small token gift for her

£20 each. We purposely keep it low budget for all.

About £20-£25 each

Op in our family two aunts, one blood one not,
Zilch. Both top earners, no dc of their own and v wealthy.

I have a budget of between 20 - 40 for each. I deal with my side and dp deals with his side. I will have a hunt around for bargains but will try to get something they like. Its getting harder now one is getting older as they are into games etc but youngest is still easy.

About £20..... we currently only have one nephew and one niece.
