This is a tough one for me because I don't celebrate Christmas but my family do. They give us presents if they see us at Christmas and I would feel a bit of a scoundrel if I accepted their gifts but gave nothing. There is also no way in hell that I would stay away if they're all having a get together.
This year I'll be spending Christmas with my 3 siblings and their families, my Dad and Step and maybe an Aunt and her DH and DS.
Eeek!! That's a lot of presents.
Sooo, this year. All the siblings and their +1's get a cook book that will cost from $25 to $50.
Dad & Step will get something about the same value.
A toy each for all the kids about $20 or so for the littlies and up to about $50 for the teens.
Then a few stocking stuffers - things like spice mixes and so on.
That's a lot of money on something I don't celebrate lol. At least I don't have to buy a gift for DH and no-one expects anything extravagant.
Depends on the year, and how our budget is. We usually buy for parents, nieces & nephews. Extended family, aunts & uncles etc don't generally buy for other adults.
Usually it's $20-30 each person, although I seem to end up adding bits & pieces here & there.
Buying for each other...sometimes. DH is hopeless because he never wants anything, he is so very hard to buy for. This week I have picked up my easel I have been waiting for weeks & weeks for (since my birthday!), so that is my christmas present
