How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?

[sprintx]

I was adding it all up today and I was surprised that we will be spending around $2000 by the time we are done! I had no idea it was that much!:eek:

[PrincessArky]

One year I spent over $3000 but now that I am not as well off as then I cut way back.........the most I HOPE to spend this year is less than $1000 and that includes all the gifts I must buy

[velvetrose]

I have 4 childred and tons of family so we spend about the same 2000.Lately I have been hitting the after Christmas sales so I have plenty of gifts by Christmas. So that seems to save like 500 dollars so actually my total is about 1500 .

I don't have a lot of people to shop for, so I usually end up spending like $100 maximum. Although, I have a bad habit of going overboard on the packaging and spend about $10 just to fancy up one present with a gift bag, tissue paper, confetti, bows and ribbons...

A lot. I can't help it b/c I want to get everyone something that they'll LOVE no matter what. Plus I have a lot of brothers and sisters and I want to get my parents the best gift. :p

But my kids are SOOOO worth it.

[tommyjo]

i dont spend all that much, i just shop for gifts that LOOK like the people i am buying for, money means nothing, 1 dollar to 50, is all i look for, something that "looks like" the person i am buying for

We usually spend between $300-$400 on the kids (together), and then we still have 3 nieces, and 1 nephew, my kids 2 best friends, MIL, and my best friend had her hubby..we usually don't buy for each other, so we usually go about $800-$1000..usually not over that but we have been known to....but some of that amount is the gift cetificates, and checks I earn toing surveys/rewards programs..

I only have 5 people to buy for and I am keeping it under $300. I generally spend about $500 but I had to put a radiator in my car last month. And that's where my Christmas money went.

I am making aprons for my sisters and then buying matching hot pads and towels. And adding in some speciality bread mixes. The rest are getting gift certificates. This is what happens when there are all adults in your family and no one really needs anything.

For my daughter, I bought a writing leap-pad with a book, a megablok dollhouse and a game
