Xmas and Birthday Spending

[Bloom]

Really interesting!

Our kids get a few presents at Christmas (from us, we don't have Santa), each child's total is probably about $30-50. I normally buy books/undies on clearance through the year and add one specially chosen toy/game.

I don't buy them toys throughout the year. They are only given as gifts for birthdays/Christmas.

For birthdays, again we spend about $30-50 (though this could be a bit more depending on what we want to give them) and this is one actual present plus a few cheapies.

I haven't made any presents for my kids (though I made PJs and a skirt for my god daughter). I might make the boys shorts (with digger fabric!) as a present. I am making DD a Christmas dress, but that isn't a present as such.
