I have counted up everyone I have to get presents for this year and it's 22 people!

X3 dc's
BF
Parents
X2 siblings
X2 in-laws
1 nephew
X2 friends
X6 friends dc's
BF parents
BF nephew

In an ideal world I'd just like to buy for dc's, bf, my nephew and my parents but hey ho. I've suggested to lots of the above about secret Santa/no gifts but no everyone loves it all. Promise I'm not a grinch just find it overwhelming thinking of that many peoples gifts.

So how many people do you have to buy for versus how many you would actually like to buy for?

We don't have any parents or grandparents left to buy for 🙁, so numbers drastically reduced in last few years. We don't buy for siblings/etc on either side so only have :

Ds(16) - probably go overboard
Something for each other - we tell each other what we want (echo clock for me, new shaver for Dh)
3 x nieces/nephews under 21 (two are just money in a card, other is 5 so gets a toy)
1 x niece over 21 who I am close too and her husband (bottle of nice vodka each - tanqueray sterling/ciroc apple)
Ex-sil who is a close friend (something for garden)
Work secret santa (not this year!)

Other 6 nieces and nephews are all over 21 now, so we no longer buy for.

Makes for a very relaxed run up to Christmas 🎄🍷☃️🎅🏻
