[quote=Anonymous]I post this all the time, but the answer is: Friendly acquaintance/not super-close: Retail value $20-30, I spend $4-8 max. These folks especially are getting generic but hopefully fun/decent quality gifts that I've stocked up on when they were on clearance for 75-90% off. Closer friend: Same thing, but probably up a notch to $40 value, $10 spend. Closest 2-3 friends and godsisters: Here I may go out of my way and buy something very specific to their interests and pay closer to retail, at least for part of the gift. Value still around $40, maybe $50, but I might actually spend $20-25. I like to give something substantial in all cases, but there's no way I'm sending my kid to 15 birthday parties a year and spending $500! I guess I end up spending more like $175 annually. HHI is $120k in DC. [/quote]
