Wow- I hadn't really added it up. Such a bad idea. . Probably close to $700.. .maybe more if DH spent on me what I spent on him & this year we are ecxhanging with fewer people than last year.

I kept a spreadsheet this year so I wouldn't go too crazy! So far it's keeping me in check but I still have a few more gifts to buy!

We didn't even get much and it was still around $500. I could only imagine what it would've been if we had bought for everybody Chat Icon

Wow! I think we're under $1000, but I buy throughout the year so it doesn't hit us all at once.

Re: POLL: How much $$ do you think you spent on presents for this Christmas?

We've spent $900 on everyone else and we'll spend about $250-300 each on eachother.

Of the $900, $450 of it was paid for in Amazon Gift Certificates that we each won in contests at or jobs throughout the year and as rewards from our Amazon credit card. We save them up all year long and then use for X-Mas shopping. I also made sure that almost everything from Amazon got free shipping. I paid less than $60 in shipping costs this year. (I did 90% of my shopping online due to a broken ankle.)

wow! Chat Icon I only spent about $150 on DH.
That's about average for us, but we never set an exact limit.

Re: POLL: How much $$ do you think you spent on presents for this Christmas?

It will end up being over $1000, only because DH and I decided to get a piece of furniture as a joint gift for each other, which is more than we usually spend on each other. Otherwise, it would have been slightly less than $1000.

Re: POLL: How much $$ do you think you spent on presents for this Christmas?

So far about $700-$800. Will end up spending about $1400 this year between me and DH buying, although he only has to buy for me....

thats actually less then recent years, we decided to NOT go crazy this year and Im happy with that.

OMG- I just realized that was not including stuff I "deferred billed" ...

lets just say TOO much then!

you are all going to think I am crazy, but on DH alone I spent 7k Chat Icon Chat Icon
Chat Icon Chat Icon

with the wedding over and finally having my $$ go into MY bank acc't again and not vendors, i got a little crazy! He has always wanted an ATV and this year I was able to get him a brand new '06 quad without feeling "guilty" about it! He will still kill me but its ok, he is worth itChat Icon and its somewhat a gift for both of us, i love them too!

this is NOT the norm for us, we usually spend about 1k on eachother.

as for everyone else... we will be at about 2k when all is said and done.
