low 20s (but 4-6 of those will combine) AND I have cut off nieces who are 18+ (well I get them a $5 little nothing)


I make gifts for another 15 (secretaries and custodians and my aunts and some close cousins)

For me the gift exchange is minimal. Just immediate family for the most part.

Just made my list and its at 40 Chat Icon Chat Icon I keep hinting about secret santa. I have definitely become a bargain shopper for the holidays because with that many people it gets out of hand.

I only buy for co-workers and this year it's because it's "expected" not because I want to.
My families do not buy for adults and kids over 13. We like to just get together for meals and togetherness. Makes for a more stress free and enjoyable holiday.

Usually it's between 20-25 people we buy for. But this year we canceled Christmas. We are only buying for our niece and 2 nephews. We are buying a house so we told our families that we are canceling Christmas this year.
