I am at 1K for extended family.

DH - winter coat, $450
DS - he's abroad and doesn't want to be loaded with stuff, so maybe a Steam gift card of $100 plus $100 on his bank account
DD - requested skirt and cloak for authentic costume cosplay, $200
Me - make-up $80
Parents - slippers and caviar, $250
2 babies in extended family - toys, $100
Other 3 person family we buy for - $200

Total $1480 (plus little food gifts for friends and such that add up but I can't bother right now)

My birthday is in early Spring, and I am eyeing something expensive.

About $800 total. Around half on our own kids, which seems like a lot.

DH - buys own gifts, probably spent $350
DC1 (12 y/o) - $150
DC2 (10 y/o) - $175
DC3 (8 y/o) - $220
DC4 (6 y/o) - $190
Me - bought my own gifts, probably $200
Stocking stuffers for 6 people - $150
Nieces/nephews - $200
Grandparents - $200

Total - just under $2k

But, also taking a trip over the holiday as a “gift” so add another $5k for a grand total of $7,000.

@$3k for us I Didn’t realize we spent this amount . I’ve been buying items since early Nov

23yo son -$300 on dressy sneakers, sweater - it’s sort of become a tradition that every year we get him a new top that he wears to dinner with family
20yo college daughter $1000 (yikes!) on college essentials - boots, sneakers, tote,jewelry, AirPods
DH - solo stove $700 (this isn’t really Xmas budget because DH would’ve bought this himself either way)
Me - $600 I bought myself (and will wrap) a stick vacuum and shoes and DH will prob get me something else from my list
My parents - $400 tickets to NYC broadway show & dinner
My MIL - $250 new iPad (just realizing we’ve bought her all 3 she’s had since 2012)

2 kids in family - $100 each
