Parents Xmas present

3 replies

Just wondering how much you spend on Xmas presents for your parents? Also if you are eating together on Xmas day do you open presents together? Also how many presents each do you buy them?
Thanks

You might get more responses if you moved to the 'Chat' area rather than Relationships. But FWIW, I spend about £50-£100 on my parents, we open them together on Christmas Day and the gifts themselves are usually personal & disposable/consumable because they're elderly and don't want more 'stuff' cluttering up the place.

I bought my mum a mobile phone last year. This year I will be buying my mum an Xbox (she's on her own and gets bored but likes video games!)
She comes to us every christmas and we all open presents together.

Mum and I have a day together just before Christmas where I take her shopping for her presents from us and my SF. They are both blind. We have great fun choosing clothes, etc. and she tells me what SF needs. It's a great system and I usually spend around £100 each. They come to us for Christmas.
