how much are you spending on your DF for xmas?

My DH will probably get some cash ($150) towards his new bike he has a stash of cash from his birthday as well and I don't think I will get anything to flash although I just bought a lovely nappy bag so won't feel ripped off!

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say I don't get it.
If your DF can't find anything worth $750 why does he have to spend that much? I don't understand shopping just for the sake of shopping. Why not just find each other the perfect gift and save the change for a rainy day/house deposit/staying home when baby arrives fund?
I think it's the thought that counts not the sum spent.

my DF is a HORRIBLE saver. he's a shoppaholic.... he has his mind set that we have that much for xmas pressies so he won't save it etc

2 years ago my DH bought me a house.

Nothing has come close since then

ETA: I worded it that way on purpose... of course it is "our" house and we are both on the mortgage but at the time I was probably on maternity leave and let's be honest its got more impact when I say he bought me a house!
