Holiday boutique budget?
There is a sheet for me to put down how much DS can spend on each person. I'm going to have him buy for me, his dad, sister and grandparents. They said gifts range from $1-$6. How much do you/are you/would you budget for each person?

Re: Holiday boutique budget?
Last year DD bought for 5 people and we gave her $20. I wrote estimated amounts on the envelope but to be honest they just helped her pick appropriate items and I am sure some were more then others.

Re: Holiday boutique budget?
My sons says up to $7 so I just budget $7 for each person LOL The gifts are SO darn cheesy though. I only have him get for the immediate family and we go elsewhere for others!

Re: Holiday boutique budget?
I gave my kids $6 each to spend on 6 people so $1 each more or less. It gets expensive and I'd rather take them shopping elsewhere. How many of the same "Dad" mugs can my DH get? They did fine BTW. My younger son is getting 2 whoopie cushions from his siblings but I think he will be OK.

Re: Holiday boutique budget?
I helped at my daughter's holiday botuique this year and honestly we just looked at the total amount of money they had and how many people they needed to buy for. Then we helped them pick gifts based on how much money they had. Most kids got money back. There was 3 moms plus the teacher helping 20+ kids at a time so we didn't really stick to the amounts written on the envelope. My DD bought for 13 people and spent $26.

Re: Holiday boutique budget?
I have always given my kids $20 and they decide what to buy and who to buy for.
