How much did you end up spending on xmas gifts?

[isosmom]

I spent $215 for 13 people. Pretty proud of myself. That was for my 3 kids and their stockings, 3 sets of parents, my 2 sil, my bil, and my niece. We don't buy gifts amongst my siblings.
But I'm most proud of my mother who usually goes crazy with gifts. I mean, ridiculous. And she did so well this year. We all got a book and a gift card. And she didn't go too overboard with the kids.

About $350. That was just for gifts for the three of us. Most of that was DH's Xbox 360 though!

We spent just over $200. That's for our 3 kids, 4 grandparents, and 2 great grandmas. We don't buy each other gifts.

$285.73 for 13 people.

About $300. I gave more than that though. I actually had some stuff here, brand new in boxes, to give: picture frames, scarves, etc.

Way too much! :

I spent $100.00 on 9 people. A lot of it was baking and preserves, though. The preserves I had from the summer, and the baking was inexpensive. So, basically, the bulk of the 100.00 was spent on two people - my mom and my partner.

Way too much. I'm a little afraid to tally it up. We won't go into debt or anything, but enough that it makes me uncomfortble.

A little under $300 I think. That was for eight people. Half of the money was for two people who were a part of an adopt-a-family I participated in at work.

I really have no idea. :

Me neither because I bought things all year long as I saw them. MIL's gift was a lucky find way back in May!

If I had to guess, I'd guess about $400 for 11 people. A sizable chunk of that was spent on DD's "big girl bike," her big gift this year.

[***Heather***]

My family: $90
Mostly homemade gifts, for 9 people. That's not counting the 3 boys that were given an old PS we had = $0. They liked it.

DH's family: $100 for 5 kids.

Throw in a couple dollars for a box of chocolates (for me ) and I'd say $200 for 17 people.

I'm sure if we had kids, we would have spent more, this is for siblings, niece and nephews etc.

[SugarAndSun]

Wow! If we are all spending like this, who are all those people in the stores?

[lucky_mia]

Oh gosh, I don't even want to know what we spend. Actually I was doing ok and then my Dh decided to do his annual shopping trip and as usual, he spent way too much. Much more than we planned but at least we don't use credit cards so it is all paid for.

$450 for 5 children (my 2 + 4 nieces and nephews).

Let's see, I bought for my 2 kids or I should say I gave them $ and that totaled $400.00 and my partner and that was about $100. So all totaled, $500. I didn't buy for anyone else, I had to fly 1300 miles back to my original home to care for my grandfather who is terminally ill and I thought that the cost of my flight was the equivalent for a gift for the rest of my family and friends since seeing me is a gift as I haven't been home in a year and a half.
