your xmas present budget?

[ANGWife]

It depends on the person. For immediate family it's $20-30. And for friends, coworkers, etc. it's less. Usually I can get a great deal that is WORTH alot of money.

Usually I spend about $1200, but as this year is the first since I split from my husband I'm bugeting for half of that. The hard part will be to not go over board shopping for my son - I want Christmas morning to be as normal as possible for him, but it'll be hard to not over compensate.

Im sure you'll give your son the best Christmas ever...
I know its difficult, but you have to be strong and try to make Christmas beautiful for both you and your little boy..
My sister is just like you, so, I think I can pretty much understand you..

Generally people spend money on Christmas gift depend on their income. Now a days people are facing recession problem so i think this time budget for Christmas is going quite less.

It really depends on who I'm shopping for:
Son: $100-200
Husband: $100
Parents: $50 ea.
Nieces/Nephews: $20 ea.
Coworkers/teachers: $10 ea.
Pets: $5 ea.

Looking to spend around $700 this year.

I may sound cheap but I bought for everyoneunder $7.00 each but I was only required to buy for the kids. so I don't care. I jst have to buy for the dogs and put money back for Roy he wants to go shopping together around the week before christmas by then I should be up and about after surgery.

I remember that feeling HM, hang in there, it will get easier!

I can't budget, that word is not in my vocabulary. I get in trouble every Christmas morning when all the gifts are opened. My Husband has a bird. What's a girl to do? I'm a Christmasfreak in every sense of the word. I truly need Rehab!

I also don't have a Christmas budget, it's different each year. But I don't spend much
