| About $100 bucks on my 3 year old, probably like $50 on my 1 year old (which I know is ridiculous but I felt guilty that her sister had so many presents under the tree so I tried to even things out). |

I think I spent $500 on one and about $300 on another, but based on what they wanted. Got money from grandparents for part of it. ($50 each)
We also have hhi over $200k and are doing pretty ok, so if things were tighter I would be keeping better track. 1/2 the stuff is clothes etc that I probably would have bought this season anyway. |

2.5 yo DS- $60 maybe? He’s gotten so many gifts from other family members. It’s overwhelming.
Newborn DD- $0 in “gifts” but we’ve spent a few hundred in the nursery and essentials. Again, lots of gifts from other family members. |

About $350 on my 12-year old, maybe? I didn't stick to a tight budget. His big gift is an XBox One, which was $200. Other things add up to about another $150.
I don't track too closely as I only have one to buy for, and I am fortunate not to have to worry about the spending, beyond basic financial prudence. |

about $350 each for my middle schoolers. When they were 0-2 we spent nothing (wrapped up things we already had!), 3-5 about $50, 5-8 about $100, and 8-12 about $200.
Bigger kids = more expensive tastes. |

| My kids are 12 and 15. DH spent about $100 each for Christmas. I do Hanukkah, and their gifts ended up costing $50-$60 per kid. |

Little over $100 for my 3 year old. Caught the Barbie dollhouse on sale for $45 Black Friday. That was a game changer. Then a couple of dolls and Polly pocket. I just ordered her some shoes with carter’s cash and a $10 rewards certificate because her tennis shoes have been getting too tight to wear with socks. Added in two outfits and two pairs of pjs, so $30 after rewards.
This year is tight because I’m pregnant and have been out of work for three months. My parents told me they have 9 gifts for her and my in-laws sent a huge box full of presents for her and a $3,000 check for us (which we used to get our home propane tank filled for winter, make a credit card payment, and put the rest in savings). They didn’t have to do that, but we are thankful. I start my new job first of the year so Justin thankful all around! |
