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.

Between £20-£30.

I only have two. £20-30 on each, usually.

I have three & budget £30 for birthdays & Christmas (mine are all older teens/young adults).

I had kids first so just spend what they spend on my kids lol. So £30 on niece (brother child) and £20 on nephew (SIL child)

About £60 each (covers a toy plus something to wear). I only have to buy for 3 young nieces and Nephews although I have 4. One is much older and at 18 we were told not to buy for him anymore as they have a policy in his family of no presents once you reach that age.

About £100. There's only 1 and unlikely to be any more.

Nothing at Christmas. About €60 for birthdays. Suits everyone.

£20 - £30, stop buying after their 18th birthday.

Somewhere between £50-£100 depending on what he needs/wants. I only have one nephew though and no children of my own yet so can afford to spend a bit more on him than I would otherwise.

£40 each, for birthdays and Christmases.

£50/60 ish, but I only have one nephew and one niece (and no DC of my own yet!)

I absolutely do not understand those who get them nothing. A big family day out instead of presents for the children?! Sounds like an adult decision if ever there was one Odd.

£5 max, less if I can (second hand is very acceptable in my family). I have over 10 niece and nephews.

£20-£30, I only buy for my niece and nephew that I'm really close too though (and now they're both working they buy for me ) and my sisters buy for me and my boys
On my husbands side there are our 2 boys, SIL 2 boys and BIL 2 boys and they agreed to just buy for the children. We spend around £20 on each of them too.

I don't get not buying presents for adults either, it's a bit miserable

£30 at Christmas and £40 on their birthdays. I suspect their other aunt (my sister) spends way more but she’s always been OTT in everything.

I no longer buy presents for the oldest two as they’re now in their early 20s and working and also I have never had so much as a card from either of them

£50 however I only have one nephew. If there were more it would certainly be less each

About £70 each for birthdays and Christmases. I’ve only got two nieces though and no kids of my own

Nothing as I have 27 of them and it would cost a fortune!

Nothing. I want to start though.

We do 25- 30 per child. I have to buy for 4 of them .

The parents don't buy for each other at crimbo but we do for birthdays though.

A big family day out instead of presents for the children?! Sounds like an adult decision if ever there was one hmm Odd.

My six nieces and nephews have nine sets of aunts and uncles and four sets of grandparents between them and, if anyone suggested it, would absolutely jump at the chance to go to a theme park instead of getting extra presents. On their mum’s side of the family they mostly get bought very generic stuff that they’re not at all bothered about. Whereas they only rarely get to have a family day out.

My sister has asked them outright before if they’d prefer a present or a day at the zoo/Legoland/water park and they invariably say the day out.

Around $20 for the younger ones and 30ish for the grown up ones, though I'm thinking of not bothering with the two adult ones anymore as they never so much as text a thank you

Before I had my current job and therefore a decent income, 15/20 quid. Now, maybe 50-100 quid. I don't have a set amount, I just pick up whatever I think she'll like. I would add though that everyone is different and everyone has different financial circumstances. 5 quid or 500 quid, it honestly is the thought that matters.

£30ish for my side, £15-£20 for DH's side.
