How many people do you buy Christmas presents for?

[pinkksugarmouse]

I only have DH & DD to buy for plus DD’s 20th birthday on the 29th of November. And I know this sounds mad but I actually got presents for my hamster Lucy too.

I have heard of people buying for cousins, a dozen nursery or school staff, the postman/woman, binmen…sounds like a lot of work. No judgement on here please stay nice! 🤞

Husband, daughter, mum, one friends child. Husband and I are only children.

2 DDs and husband

3 nephew's

Mum and dad

Parent in laws

6 X siblings / in laws

3 X grandparents

Best friend

Family friend (couple)

Teachers / nursery staff (4 i think)

14. Husband, 2 kids, sister, her husband and 2 kids, my mum and dad, 2 secret Santas (work and friends). Plus I buy dh from dc and dc's for each other. Usually box of chocs for postie and binmen as well.

1. Just DH/dc/nieces/nephew/my dad/his mum.

I've got friends who buy an insane amount of presents - one friend buys 80+, for family, numerous friends and their whole households including adults. It doesn't occur to her that these families probably could do without buying for her and her kids so would rather she didn't bother!

15 + 3 January birthdays

But I am including my DP's family who are hosting us and some gifts I organise for an older relative to give to their lovely helpful neighbours. Of these 18 have bought 1 but planned almost all of them.

It's the Christmas cards/letters, with a change of address, that I need to get on top of this week, I don't want them to get stuck in the strikes. I still have some to make, and most to write, although I have drafted the letter.

11 all in, but we also have 2 birthdays in December and the 3 in January

5 grandchildren and 2 elderly neighbours .

Just counted, 19 😱 4 are adults, all the rest are kids

my 4 children, my mum, my Nan, 2 sort of nephews (ex partners sisters kids) and one for a friend group secret Santa.

I love buying presents!

One - DD

I have 2 kids so 2.

23 and a December birthday. We stop buying for nieces and nephews once they get to 18, so it will eventually go down!

1. Dh and 2 dc, my parents, dsis, dbil and their 2 dc. Dh buys presents for his side of the family. Obviously our presents for our dc are from both of us, but I'm usually in charge of getting those.

30 ish : children and their spouses, grandchildren, cousins and their dgc, friends (3), cleaner and her dc, carer,oh and dh of course.
