How many people do you buy for?

[WipsGlitter]

I've seen lots if threads about people with huge lists to buy for and was wondering what was the 'norm'. Aside from santa for the kids I get:

My mum
My sister - £10 limit
My bil - £10 limit
Three nieces
One nephew
DP
Secret Santa for DP's side of the family
Work secret Santa
One friend - maybe she lives abroad so I have to be organised!

DP gets his dad and the family secret Santa ( he will spend more on his dad than mine combined!)

51 people. And I'm sure I've missed a couple! I've been buying bits since August.

OMG. That's loads! My friend and I agreed we wouldn't do presents for the kids when they were little because they got so much!

DS
DD
Mum
Stepdad
Stepmum
Stepgran
Money for the teenage cousins
Plus a few little bits for teachers / TA's and the beaver leaders.

I refuse to do office secret santa (we're all employed adults with enough stuff) and I'm not buying my sister presents anymore.

Double OMG curious that's loaves and loads. Are you sure they all still want to do presents??

Well, last year I didn't buy for a few of the adults and they bought for us, and we had to have a mad Sainsbury's dash on Christmas Eve to rectify it!

I have a tiny list and it still feels stressful sometimes!

Actually, I didn't include DD's nursery teachers. But there are 4 of them... Do I buy for all 4?

24 in total, 21 family members and 3 friends

Cousins (children) 9
friends (children) 6

So 30 people

I never realised. I thought I had a small list.

In fairness the children all get presents under £5, usually in sales, that I buy throughout the year.

I save with Park, I use vouchers for the rest and tend to do the Boots 3 for 2 offer for my friends.

1. DC and DH.

Immediate family on both sides plus close friends' children = 13. Not bad!

So 13 people. Next year 15 as my sister and I are both pregnant! also do a charity donation instead of present for my uncle and his family. Some years there is a work secret santa, but not this year.

I then make gingerbread biscuits for friends and DD's friends, which equates to about 200 biscuits but it's good fun and has been made easier this year now I've discovered IKEA do pre-made gingerbread dough :-)

My 2kids and parents.

There is a perk to not having many friends and far to many nieces and nephews that it would be just stress for all

I've got an agreement with most friends that we won't do Christmas presents, especially as the children are pretty much grown up now, so:

DH
DC1
DC2
My mum
My dad
SIL/BIL (joint present)
Niece
Best friend
Goddaughter

That's 10 and feels like plenty! They're all people I love choosing presents for, though.
