How much do you spend on Christmas

[starsparkle08]

Just looking to see people’s budgets and how they are similar and different .

About 3000 in total. Too much, many would say but...

About £140 to £100 a child on presents

Food about £170

Around £3000, maybe a bit more. However this is for everything and we always stay at away a couple of nights at Legoland or Chessington to visit Father Christmas.

Stay away*

I spend about £1500 on presents & about £500 on food & drink. I’ve already started buying stocking fillers in the sales & as I see them. I’m trying not to over buy for relatives this year & so far am under budget.

I normally spend £150 each on adult DC and £50 each dgc, £150 on foster son and £120 for DH. I usually spend £500 on days out on December for Xmas activities, Theatre for Twelfth Night, ballet got Nutcracker, paint a Xmas decoration, visit to see Santa, ice skating, Xmas family meal out etc but this year I spent more on gifts as no holidays and no Xmas activities apart from baking, art and craft at home. Adult DC £250 each and foster son £350, DH £200 and dgs £100 each.

This year it will b about £150 per child (225 each when split with partner). £50 on OH and £100 I split across my parents n siblings. Oh buys for his family separately too.

I use the gift list app. I've bought some items already because I'm on maternity. Smp starts soon then I'll be unpaid for 2 months before back at work
