presents received massively under budget wwud?

[Nicpem1982]

When my sil and I had children it was decided that we would just buy for the dcs.

We agree a budget each year £30 this year and me and my dh spend that and dn ends up with a lovely present.

Bil has told us that they've bought my dd (age 2) a book from the works for £4.00 and that's all they're getting as they feel my dc has enough presents from other people.

I am massively tempted to split my DNs present into 2 and cover her bday as well do I do this or just be nice and hand over the bag of presents on Christmas morning to dn?

What happened?

The OP has updated on her other thread. Look there.

Whats the name of the other thread?

xStefx It's here

I've got a small update from page one

Wasn't expecting a gift last year for my two children as my sister didn't do it the year before

I was right, she didn't

Soubriquet- that's not good what will you do this year

This year?

£1 selection boxes each

That way I still save face as I've bought a gift but I'm not being a mug either

Fair enough we're looking at a budget of 10-15 for dn for both bday and Christmas

Closer to 10.00 if I'm honest and if I can find a bargain between now and then even better
