Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
$150-300.
DH's family doesn't celebrate it though, so we don't get them gifts.
We spoil my niece and then the adults (my parents and sister) just exchange small gifts in the $25 range.
Since my family lives in Florida, we spend money on doing fun stuff together when we visit each other.
Oh and DH and I don't always exchange gifts. We prefer to go and do something together. So I don't factor that into my spending point, because that can vary tremendously.

How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
With LO being of age to actually enjoy Christmas/Hanukkah (we celebrate both) this year and both of our families and friends, I think we spent about $1500 this year. OY!

Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
Too much
Mainly because of my 4 year old DD, but damn do those gift cards add up too.
I just spent almost $300 on the Amex site yesterday on fee free gift cards- and I have some other gift cards to buy.
And this is without exchanging with adults on DH's side of the family

Close to $1,000. We have a lot of people to buy for and I tend to go overboard on gifts each year.

TRYING to stay under $2,000 but I will be cutting it close. I have over 30 people to shop for and DHs birthday is four days before Christmas so I always wind up spending a lot this time of year!

I've never really added it all up, but i'm sure it's over $2000 - YIKES! I know that I have spent at least $500-$600 on DH and I'm pretty sure he has spent in that range for me, then we have my 2 stepsons (probably in the $300 range each), my 2 nephews ($100 range) plus a bunch of other people that we buy for but spend less on

How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
With my family, we buy everyone a present but we limit it to 2 per person where one is a larger gift (around $65-$75) and a smaller one (around $25). DH's family does a grab bag and we draw the name on Thanksgiving. The limit is $100. Since we're having a baby in the upcoming year and wanted to save some money, DH and I opted to go in together for the grab bag, and we'll share a joint gift, and will only have to purchase the one gift for the person we picked.

Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
A lot. Between $1500-2K+. But the majority of that is for my kids, I don't really budget their gifts.
Everyone else I budget for. I have to buy for my parents, IL's, 6 nieces and nephews, two Kris Kringles in my family, the bus driver, teachers, Daisy troop leader, little cousins, and all of the guys that work under my DH and his secretary. It adds up FAST!

How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
um...
$40 on her watch
$5 on a wall art of TMNT
$20 on dollar things and stuff for stocking
Nothing for him
Nothing for me
I will probably spend $30 on my cousin's kid.
So $100 ??
Ooh I may get something for my aunt. So $150 tops
We just don't do gifts. I have cards tho. As soon as I get them!
But buying car has drained us. :( And now my dryer is broke! ARRGH!

How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
I would say probably $2K+. I have a HUGE family with a million kids, DH's family, a few secret santas (with friends & cousins), a few friends with their kids. Plus we really do go all out for DD- she's our only child and it's fun.

Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?
I don't really add it up, but I buy for more teachers/staff, than family. We only exchange with my mom and 2 nieces, and my two grandma's. I bought gifts for about 20 teachers, therapists, and coaches this season.
