[quote=Anonymous]HHI around $800k. Only child (7). We usual get a big gift ($100-$250). Think bike, big lego set, etc. Lots of smaller stuff that probably adds up to $150 (including bandaids, socks, ornament, puzzle, a couple books, toothbrush, etc - that stuff adds up, so i don't want to underestimate). His grandparents probably spend another $100, and he has three sets of aunt/uncles who we ask to limit to $50 each. DH and I met as students with no money, and agreed 20 years ago to limit our gifts to each other to $50. We've pretty much stuck to that (with some random exceptions). I spend probably $400 total on my parents, including a big gift and some smaller things every year. $150 on my sister and her husband (no kids). $300 this year on service workers (housecleaner and lawn care). And probably $500 on teachers, etc (DS has special needs so we are generous here). So DS is a small component of our overall holiday spending. [/quote]
