in past years, we have just gotten everyone what they wanted... 3 nephews, 1 neice, DH's 3 brothers & their wives, DH's mum, DS & each other.
But this year (financial struggle) & after the ungreatfulness of last year, it will be $20 each max on 2 nephews & neice, what other nephew wants about $80 worth & the only 1 we will see on xmas day & only one that appreciates anything he gets. about $50 on 1 of DH's brothers & $50 for his wife (only ones we will see on xmas day, always greatful, never expect anything & go out of their way for us with accommodation ect). 1 or 2 gifts for DS of what he has been wanting about $500 all up and I'm not sure how much we spent on DD cause we got them ages ago while the specials were on maybe $200?
As for DH & I, we have agreed not to get each other anything so we can spend that little bit extra on the kids & be able to afford to go down to the fam for xmas for a couple of weeks.
As for my fam, They don't celebrate xmas but when we see them, we always take a small gift for the kids with pretty wrapping, bows, the works!
We spend about $30 on niece and nephews. We don't buy for adults though. On each other, we really don't have a limit for $$, it just depends on what we need. So for dh, he spilt bleach on his good pants last weekend, so I've bought him new ones with a shirt to go with it.
