Do you buy Christmas presents for your friends' kids? - Page 2

post #21 of 27
we usually spend christmas with our friend. they know we are poor. depending on what they want i may or may not bring something to share. however i always get a gift for their son. and they get something for dd. its small. not big. and they sometimes get something for me too.

this is because we spend christmas with them.

otherwise no. if we are not spending xmas with them we dont buy each other gifts.

Nope! We do not give gifts to my friend's kids.

ABSOLUETLY NOT. I can barely afford to feed DS and get him a few things for Christmas. (Ds is 10) There is no way I am giving his friends presents. (Heck we cant even afford to pass out halloween candy tonight)

Yes, just little things--I can usually find wooden puzzles or playsets for under $5 by me. I have 3 good friends where we gift exchange for the kids.

Only for my BFF's child, since we've been best friends for 20 years and are close like sisters. Other friends, nope.

Our kids exchange gifts with the kids of one set of friends, but they're more like family. We stopped exchanging presents with their parents (we usually just go to dinner together sans kids instead), but the kids still exchange presents -- we did set a limit of $10/kid though since it can get pricey.

It depends on the friend. We certainly don't expect people to whom we give gifts to do the same.
