Do you have a budget for christmas pressies?

[The[cookie]Doctor]

I don't budget for DS (and DD now, but she isn't really getting much), but really should as I end up going way over the top.
Like some others, my DS has never gotten much during the year so it doesn't hurt to spend a little extra at Christmas time.
I think I have been good this year and probably spent around $500 but I wouldn't have a clue without actually looking. A $300 trampoline in there started it off...

I tend to spoil my sisters if I can as they are same age as DS and mum spoils DS so it's fun to spoil back, think I have spent bit over $100 on them each.
My brothers normally get $30 ish gift cards to rebel sport because I lack any creativity.
Then, extended' family (on my side) gifting has been ruled out this year because it is too financially demanding on those who really can't afford it.

I have never really brought for friends either. Wouldn't know where to start. I am in a SS with my Belly Buddies and thoroughly enjoyed spending money on my giftee as these wonderful women are my village and I don't know what I would do without them. Every one of them (and there is 25 now i think ) deserve a present more than any of my 'tanglible' IRL friends so it was well deserved and spent.
