How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?

Easily $2000. We spend alot on teachers/therapists/coaches, at least $600 worth. My daughter is totally spoiled, I admit it lol but she deserves it. She works super hard all year long.

Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?

I tried not to go overboard this year, so I voted $300-$500. But, it's definitely closer to $300, than $500.

Re: How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?

Too much. Unfortunately my family and my inlaws won't agree to a "no gift" policy so it forces us to reciprocate. Plus, it seems we spend hundreds on tips alone! I feel so cheap when I hear about how much MORE some people spend on tips! Our gift bills are easily over 2K which makes me sad because really, nobody needs anything.

probably close to $2000. We spend about $1000 on our kids alone.
Then I get for:
2 teachers
1 gift for the daycare center staff to share
1 dance teacher
1 bus driver
4 parents
2 grandparents
3 siblings
2 BIL/SIL
1 sibling GF
2 cousins
1 employee
1 boss
1 pet
1 god daughter

which is probably another $1000 give or take

I dont add it up bc I dont want to actually know.

Plus my 2 niece's birthdays, my son and husbands birthdays and all the teachers, bus drivers, religion teachers, etc,,,

This year we are higher because we decided to buy a new tv for our living room and move the current one to the playroom, so thats one big family gift.
