Ahem...well i tend to go over board becuase i just love giving people gifts, espeically at christmas. But i've spend about $600 on Lily *shudder*(but it in includes Lily's birthday party and presents which is this weekend) and around $200 on Charlie but i'm still to get a few things for Charlie's stocking. This year we bougth Lily's first bike which cost a bit and a few other 'big' presents. I'm having trouble with Charlie though because i don't know what to get a 1yo boy lol. I do buy all the presents through out the year though so it's spread out and not in a lump.
DH and I usually spend around $200 on each other. We don't buy for family because they usually don't buy for our kids (which is part of why we spend so much on them). I am getting MIL a gift this year though. And i'm making a gift for my dad and step mum who live in England.

But am relieved to see that it isn't only me who spends up big! 
it is kinda a budget of $20 - $30 per person.....although we have splurged on my brother and his family as they live too far away so when we did see them earlier this year I felt more free to splurge and not worry about it all adding up iykwim..........oh and the IL's have been spoilt as they have done so much for us over the past 12 or so months that it is kinda our way of saying thank you as well (approx $120 for them combined)
