    Talking how much are you spending on your DF for xmas?

    DF and i have been together for 7 years, and have never really bought lots of xmas presents for each other, we just buy each other stuff through the year.

    well this year we decided we're setting a budget of $750 each for presents.

    oh my god. i can't wait!!!

    LOL N2L!

    We've set a 100 $ limit, but not sure if we'll make that. We still havent bought for each other or DS and we onlynhave 1 pay left :S

    $750!! Oh what we could do with that!! How exciting!

    I'm getting a HR monitor watch thing. I think it's about $90 (DH gets it wholesale).

    Some years we spend more, some we skip prezzies.

    It just depends on what we want / need / how much we have available.

    Nothing this year, we are going on a beach holiday in Jan instead. Might get something tokenistic; his favourite chocolate or similar.

    fluctuates depending on what he wants each year to be honest - this year it's been a couple of hundred cos we had spare cash at christmas so i got him some bundy collectible rums that he desperately wanted. if we'd have had the spare cash mid year i'd have gotten them then. so it's not REALLY for christmas - but because of the timing, and DD being very in to presents this year, they are wrapped and under the tree. we never have a specific budget as it's whatever is wanted/needed at the time...

    I normally do something crafty for under $10. He hates having money spent on him. However the kids have been bugging us for a remote control car which we know they will fight over so we have bought it for DH (from Santa) so this year his limit is almost $600. In expect he will spend a few dollars on some fancy t-bags for me

    wow $750 sounds like a lot. my DH is horrid to buy for. I'm thinking I just get him a few shirts and maybe a voucher for a new wet suit

    Wow! $750 is huge! We will prob spend $100-150ish on each other, depending on what we decide we want. We generally buy what we want for ourselves (within reason) during the year when we want it. As a result neither of us have any great Christmas ideas anyway....

    100-250 and sometimes nothing if we buy a joint present we need. This year I need a new bike so DHcwill spend a bit more and DH wants snorkelling gear so will spend whatever we need to get those.

    how much are you spending on your DF for xmas?

    I usually spend about $100 on his Christmas present, but because his birthday is in November some years I spend a bit more and get a combined present if there's something more expensive he wants. (this year he is getting a Lego R2D2 that is 2 foot tall)

    I don't know what he spends on me. Some years he hasn't bought anything because he 'forgot' (his excuse)

    Wow $750! Each? What I could do with that!
