[quote=Anonymous]We also don't give presents to adults in my family. (Some buy things for my elderly parents, like gift certificates to restaurants they would not otherwise treat themselves to, or vouchers for travel, but not more "stuff".) I spent between $15 and $25 per niece/nephew, depending mainly on whether I hit a good sale or have a great idea for them. I end up spending a few hundred for each of my own kids, despite my best efforts -- about $50 to $100 for the "big" present; about $30-60 for stockings (but I often put in some really practical stuff in there that they may need anyway); and another $20-50 for some smaller presents (they each get a nice book and usually a nice game/puzzle/kit from me). Honestly, we could afford more, but I just object to spending much more than that. Instead, we adopt about 7 to 10 people through our church giving tree and get lots of stuff for them.[/quote]
