Gift budgets for friends kids - How much do you spend?

[Anonymous]

It seems people either spend high or spend low on Holiday gifts.

What budget do you set for the gifts you are buying for the children of your friends?

I only buy holiday gifts for my nieces and nephews, parents and (parent) in-laws. Oh, and teachers and dog walker.

Just about this. $20-25. I do gifts for friends' kids if I'm going to see them in person (holiday party at their house when I fly back to home state, etc) but not for all friends' kids. So one year I bought for 6 such kids, but most years I buy for none. I have six or seven godchildren and they all get presents, along with my 4 nephews. Spend ~$50 on those kids.

$20 for a friends kid if we having a gifting relationship.

Depends on the kid. We've spent $75, and we've spent $20.

No holiday gifts for friends' kids. We all have too much crap as it is.

[Anonymous]

Uh nothing. We all have enough crap. I hope no one gets us anything either. If anyone does, they will not be getting a return gift from us. I hope they get the clue.

Please don't buy my kids anything.
